Abstract
A numerical model for the seasonal performance evaluation of electric air-to-water reversible heat pumps during summer is presented. The model employs the bin-method, as indicated by the standards EN 14825 and UNI/TS 11300-4, but also considers domestic hot water (DHW) production through condensation heat recovery. The model evaluates the heat pump Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) as function of the heat pump typology (multi-compressor, inverter-driven). The energy saving potential of DHW production integrated with the heat pump cooling function with respect to traditional separate cooling and DHW devices is analyzed as function of the building demand and of the heat pump typology.
