Abstract

A solar assisted air source heat pump unit is designed. The mathematical model of the unit is established and two hybrid operating conditions of the system are simulated. The simulative studying results shows that in winter the solar assisted air source heat pump unit can make full use of solar energy and the coefficient of performance (COP) of air source heat pump can be improved. In summer the cooling heat of air source heat pump could be recovered to improve the stability of solar hot water collector and the COP of the air source heat pump unit is greatly improved. The performance of solar assisted air source heat pump unit is better than that of with no solar assisted air source heat pump.
