Paper No 013 – Experimental Research on Air-source Heat Pump Using Heat Pipes as Heat Radiator – 13th IEA Heat Pump Conference, Jeju, Korea
In this study, a concept of air-source heat pump using heat pipes as heat radiator system (ASHPP) for room heating was proposed. The heat pipes radiator was developed to replace the heating terminal equipment used in traditional heat pump plants. All the heat radiators were connected in series. A tested room with artificial load was constructed and an experimental apparatus of ASHPP system was developed. Temperature distribution of each heat radiator has been experimentally investigated. The variations of system heating performance under the condition of different indoor air temperature and outdoor air temperature were researched. The purpose of this study is to provide technique reference for developing new heat pump room heating system
