TEST SYSTEM FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF THE SYNERGY POTENTIAL OF SOLAR COLLECTORS AND BOREHOLE HEAT EXCHANGERS IN HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

摘要

The wide variety of solar assisted heat pump systems makes it difficult to assess the energetic behavior and to find optimized solutions. In order to come to a deeper understanding, scientists from different subjects are cooperating with the aim to analyze the synergy effects of solar heat and heat pumps with borehole heat exchangers (BHE). The research project, which is funded by the European Union and the Federal State of Lower Saxony, is running from September 2010 until August 2013. Several industry partners from Lower Saxony will support the project with regard to the technical feasibility and the market relevance.
