Experimental Study of A Solar Assisted Ground Source Heat Pump for Heating

Abstract

researchers in order to analyze the performance of solar-ground source heat pump systems, while most studies are performed by theoretical and simulation means, the studies related to experiment are few in numbers. The lack of experimental data of solar-ground source heat pump system leads to weak awareness of operating performance. Therefore, it is important for mastering the operating performance to do the experimental study on solar-ground source heat pump system. The objective of this study is to experimentally analyze the performance of solar assisted ground source heat pumps by using a solar-ground source heat pump hybrid system in the city of Ningbo, then obtained the variation of operating performance of SAGSHP, and verified the heating performance of solar assisted ground source heat pumps is better than ground source heat pump. SAGSHP for heating is feasible in technology.
