TOWARD AN EFFICIENT OPERATION OF A SERIES SOLAR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM.

Author(s) : BONG T. Y.

Summary

IN OPERATING A SERIES SOLAR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM, A COMMON PRACTICE IS TO USE DIRECT SOLAR HEATING INSTEAD OF THE HEAT PUMP WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SOLAR-HEATED WATER EXCEEDS A CERTAIN VALUE CALLED THE SWITCH-OVER TEMPERATURE. IT IS SHOWN IN THIS ANALYTICAL STUDY THAT THE IDEAL SWITCH-OVER TEMPERATURE INCREASES WITH THE BUILDING LOAD, BUT THAT IT HAS A MAXIMUM VALUE DETERMINED COMPLETELY BY THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WATER-TO-AIR HEAT PUMP.
