The use of heat pumps for domestic heating.

Author(s) : HEAP R. D., BLUNDELL C. J.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The requirements to be met by a successful domestic heating heat pump in Britain are outlined, and the deficiencies of some existing equipment are highlighted, based on measured results in pilot installations. One possible improved heat pump system is described in detail, providing warm air heating for a house of 4-4.5 kW design heat loss. Heat distribution is by a low cost, high level stub-duct system, and defrosting is by a novel combination of methods. An experimental unit has been built and is being tested in the laboratory and in an unoccupied research house.
