HTP TCP is pleased to announce that Project 66, \u201cOptimal heat pump design and operation,\u201d will launch in October at Chillventa in Nuremberg, Germany. The kickoff meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 8th<\/sup>, from 15:30 \u2013 17:30 in Room Basel, NCC Mitte. All interested parties are welcome to join.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Despite significant interest & growth of residential heat pumps, significant hindrances remain, including diverse (residential) buildings and retrofitting of existing heating and cooling infrastructure. The international nature of this challenge adds complexity, such as multiple heat pump working principles (i.e., air-to-air vs. air-to-water) and differences in existing infrastructure and legislative landscape. As a result, the design and selection of heat pumps is costly, and their operation is rarely optimized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Our strategy to address this problem consists of the following three steps:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
    \n
  1. Collect and develop heat pump design, control strategies, and best practices from the respective member countries
    1. Base strategies on a common, holistic heat pump design and control methodology
      1. with consideration of both the new build and retrofit applications and installer feedback<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>
        \n
          \n
        1. Open-source dissemination of experimental data and simulation tools
          \n
            \n
          1. in a common format and platform<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n

            The scope of this project focuses on residential heat pumps, with 8 \u2013 40 kWth<\/sub>, and considers air-to-air, air-to-water, and ground source designs. The tasks and associated timeline to address these challenges and implement this strategy are shown below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

            The goal of this Project is to bring an international team together to help collect and develop optimal heat pump designs, control strategies, and experimental data based on a common system understanding. The Project focuses on the optimal heat pump design and optimal control methods, such as model predictive control or adaptive control strategies, with respect to the new build and retrofit applications in theory and experiments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
