Summary

A METHOD OF IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF HEAT PUMPS FOR DOMESTIC SPACE HEATING HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. FOCUSES ON THE SHORT-TERM STORAGE OF HEAT PUMP OUTPUT ENERGY IN CONCRETE FLOOR PANELS. DESCRIBES THE DYNAMIC COMPUTER SIMULATION OF AN AIR TO WATER HEAT PUMP, A FLOOR PANEL ENERGY STORE AND ENERGY FLOWPATHS IN A DWELLING. THE MODEL COMPRISED A NUMBER OF UNDER FLOOR WATER HEATED PANELS INSTALLED IN GROUND FLOOR ROOMS OF A TWO STOREY DWELLING. SUPPLEMENTARY ENERGY WAS SUPPLIED BY DIRECT ELECTRIC HEATERS. RESULTS INDICATE THAT SUCH A HEAT PUMP SYSTEM MAY BE EFFICIENTLY MANAGED TO PROVIDE NEARLY CONTINUOUS HEATING WITH LITTLE SUPPLEMENTARY ENERGY INPUT. (INT. BUILD. SERV.
