Abstract
Due to use of alternative energy sources and energy efficient operation, heat
pumps come into prominence in recent years. Especially in solar-assisted heat
pumps, sizing the required system is difficult and arduous task in order to
provide optimum working conditions. Therefore, in this study solar assisted
indirect expanded heat pump space heating system is simulated and the results
of the simulation are compared with available experimental data in the
literature in order to present reliability of the model. Solar radiation
values in the selected region are estimated with the simulation. The case
study is applied and simulation results are given for Antalya, Turkey.
Collector type and storage tank capacity effects on the consumed power of the
compressor, COP of the heat pump and the overall system are estimated with
the simulation, depending on the radiation data, collector surface area and
the heating capacity of the space. Exergy analysis is also performed with the
simulation and irreversibility, improvement potentials and exergy
efficiencies of the heat pump and system components are estimated.
