Strategies for the large-scale application of water-loop heat-pump air-conditioning systems in China.

Author(s) : YAO Y., JIANG Y. Q., MA Z. L.

Summary

A water-loop heat-pump air-conditioning (WLHPAC) system is energy efficient and environmentally friendly. However, the lack of internal cooling load, inadequate internal space, and/or little surplus heat gain in most buildings restrict it from being widely used in China. This paper discusses a number of strategies, based on the use of external low-grade heat sources, for the possible large-scale implementation of WLHPAC systems may become possible in China. A number of different types of low-grade heat sources available and their characteristics are discussed, as well as the strategies to use these low-grade heat sources in WLHPAC systems, with appropriate schematic illustrations. Compared to conventional WLHPAC systems, one that uses low-grade sources will be more energy efficient and therefore more environmentally friendly.
