Abstract
Although the inverter air-source heat pump (IASHP) and composite systems have a characteristic of energy conversion, the design of IASHP and the application of IASHP assisted with additional heat sources are absent based on the relationship between the demand side and supply side. Therefore, this paper proposes a heating load decomposition method to design IASHP with an auxiliary heat source system to offer users heating in severe cold regions. Specifically, the heating load decomposition method divides the heating load of the civil building into three regions by seeking heating energy balance points. It can get an optimal heating energy balance point with the best HSPF and an optimal design heating energy balance point with the best evaluating parameter. On these grounds, we produce an IASHP prototype. The experimental results confirm the superiority of the heating load decomposition method. Compared to the traditional design method, it improves by 6.5%-12.6% of heating capacity and 2.3%-17.4% of COP of IASHP porotype. Besides, the heating performance of IASHP assisted with an electric heating system selected by an optimal heating energy balance point is better than that of an independent IASHP heating system. In contrast, electric heating only pays 6.7% of the heating capacity of the IASHP unit operated at −27.0 °C of ambient temperature.
