Paper No 008 – Range of application of heat pumps – Implementation of heat pumps with different heat sources – 13th IEA Heat Pump Conference, Jeju, Korea
Through the increasing use of heat pumps, the number of potentially usable low-temperature heat sources and associated heat exchangers on the market is increasing, too. Planners often do not have a sufficient overview of the available technologies and boundary conditions of the individual systems and components. Based on the current results and experiences together with the development of the pre-dimensioning program, further key aspects for the integration and use of heat pumps and various associated components will arise, which will be dealt with in the project “future:heatpump_II”. The following topics will be addressed in this article: • compatibility of different heat pump technologies, such as absorption, adsorption or powercontrolled heat pumps with different low-temperature heat sources and systems. • consideration of a bivalent operating mode of two heat generators (e.g. heat pump and gas boiler). This is relevant, among other things, for concepts in multi-family and office buildings. • integration of solar thermal energy for the regeneration of ground-coupled heat pumps. • energy concepts and their planning with regard to the supply of buildings and districts by heat pumps. © HPC2020.
