Optimizing Energy Consumption Strategy of Water-loop Heat Pump

Abstract

In order to study the influencing factors of energy consumption of water-loop heat pump system, the optimal loop-water temperature strategy is proposed. The multi-variable building load is transformed into circulating water energy only related to water temperature. From Carnot cycle to think of the optimal loop-water temperature strategy, the original water temperature control method is changed. This paper shows that there is a unique circulating water temperature, which can minimize the overall energy consumption under certain building load conditions.
