Heating, cooling and ventilation with the solar-assisted heat pump based on the air solar collector

摘要

A new concept for solar-assisted heat pumps based on an air solar collector is discussed in this paper. Thernmain objectives of the system have been set on a partial covering of the cooling demand of a building duringrnsummer season and simultaneous charging of the thermal storage for domestic hot water usage. Beside this,rnthe proposed system fully covers the ventilation need of the building. The current paper presents thernperformance results of proposed concept for different weather conditions. The results demonstrate that suchrnsystem is competitive with the existed solar-assisted heat pumps in terms of technical simplicity to coverrnbroad range of tasks simultaneously.
