Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ... -
An integrated wind-powered energy system for residential applications in cold regions
(2021-09-01)This thesis proposed an integrated direct wind-powered energy system that can provide drinking water, domestic hot water, space heating as well as electricity for residential applications of a remote community in a cold ... -
Investigation of mechanical heat pump systems for heat upgrading applications
(2016-04-01)Three high temperature heat pump systems based on vapor compression cycles are introduced and examined. Four fluids (water, cyclohexane, biphenyl and mercury) are selected and analysed thermodynamically as prospective ... -
Thermal sustainability of low-temperature geothermal energy systems: System interactions and environmental impacts.
(2013-10-01)In storing heat during summer for use in winter, the ground provides a better source/sink of heat than the outside air in regards to heat pump efficiency, being cooler than the outside air in the summer and warmer in the ...
