This paper introduces a heat pump system with a latent heat storage utilization seawater installed in an aquarium. For heating purpose such as air conditioning in order to maintain the indoor conditions at constant temperature and constant relative humidity, and cooling water supply to the fish tank in the aquarium, heat from seawater is collected as the heat source for the heat pump system. With regard to the heat pump system using low-temperature unutilized heat source, development is introduced on a heat source load responsive heat pump system, with combines a load variation responsive heat pump utilizing seawater with a latent heat (ice plus water slurry) storage system using nighttime electric power serving for electric power load leveling. The experimental COP (Coefficient of performance) of the proposed heat exchanger from seawater and latent heat storage cooling assisted heat pump system will be shown in detail.

This paper introduces a heat pump system with a latent heat storage utilizing seawater installed in an aquarium. Heat from the seawater is collected and used as the heat source for the heat pump system. This maintains the indoor conditions at constant temperature and relative humidity. With regard to the heat pump system using low-temperature unutilized heat source, development is introduced on a heat source load responsive heat pump system, with combines a load variation responsive heat pump utilizing seawater with a latent heat (ice plus water slurry) storage system using nighttime electric power serving for electric power load leveling. The desired outcome would be to show that the costs of generating heat energy with the seawater-source heat pump are significantly less than those with the air-source heat pump and the oil-fired system. Additionally, the CO2 emissions for the seawater-source heat pump compare favourably as they maybe less than those for the other conventional assumed systems described.

The subject of the research was an air-water heat pump, model PCUW 2.5kW from HEWALEX, installed in a single-family house. The pump is only used for heating water. The research was carried out from 25-08-2017 to 18-09-2017 in the village of Zborowice, in Malopolska region, Poland. The data were recorded from the heat pump system: temperature of the lower heat source (external air), temperature of the upper heat source (water temperature in the tank), time of heat pump was calculated during the analysed cycle of work and electrical energy consumption. The Coefficient Of Performance (COP) of the analysed air-water heat pump was determined. The analysis of the results was carried out using the MATLAB and EXCEL statistical tools. The correlation between COP coefficient and external air temperature is strong: 0.67.

Solution regeneration of the heat-source tower is significant to guarantee the normal operation of the heat-source tower. Mechanical vapor recompression system is an efficient system for evaporation of solution. In this paper, mechanical vapor recompression system is applied to regenerate solution of heat-source tower. To clarify the merits of mechanical vapor recompression solution regeneration system, several typical solution regeneration systems are modelled. As a result, mechanical vapor recompression shows 35.7%, 73.5% and 91.2% energy saving compared to air-driven heat pump, three-effect evaporating system, and single effect evaporating system, respectively. Furthermore, a heat-source tower heat pump with solution generation system is installed in a typical building in Yangtze river region. The whole heating season performance is simulated to find the effects of different solution regeneration system on the whole heat pump system. As a conclusion, the seasonal coefficient of performance of heat pump is decreased 1.6% by mechanical vapor recompression regeneration system. Comparatively, the seasonal coefficient of performance of heat pump is decreased 2.6%, 4.2% and 10.0% by air-driven heat pump, three-effect evaporating system, and single effect evaporating system, respectively. Practical application: Solution regeneration systems for heat-source tower heat pump systems have been applied in building projects especially in hot summer and cold winter zone in China based on previous investigation. A heat-source tower heat pump system combined with heat pump solution regeneration system has been applied in an office building in Changsha, Hunan Province in China. And its practical operation energy consumption has been reduced obviously compared with traditional single effect evaporation system. Therefore, it is of vital importance to demonstrate the operating performance of different solution regeneration systems applied in heat-source tower heat pump systems in building.
