To recover more industrial exhausted heat, a new low-temperature central heating system integrated with industrial exhausted heat using distributed electric compression heat pumps is put forward and analyzed from the aspect of thermodynamics and economics. The roles played by the distributed electric compression heat pumps in improving both thermal performance and financial benefit of the central heating system integrated with industrial exhausted heat are greater than those by the centralized electric compression heat pumps. The proposed low-temperature central heating system has higher energy efficiency, better financial benefit, and longer economical distance of transmitting exhausted heat, and thus, its configuration is optimal. For the proposed low-temperature central heating system, the annual coefficient of performance, annual product exergy efficiency, heating cost, and payback period are about 22.2, 59.4%, 42.83 ¥/GJ, and 6.2 years, respectively, when the distance of transmitting exhausted heat and the price of exhausted heat are 15 km and 15 ¥/GJ, respectively.

    energies Article Assessment of Energetic, Economic and Environmental Performance of Ground-Coupled Heat Pumps Matteo Rivoire, Alessandro Casasso ID , Bruno Piga and Rajandrea Sethi * Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24, 10129 Torino, Italy; [email protected] (M.R.); [email protected] (A.C.); [email protected] (B.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-011-090-7735 Received: 15 June 2018; Accepted: 24 July 2018; Published: 26 July 2018 Abstract: Ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHPs) have a great potential for reducing the cost and climate change impact of building heating, cooling, and domestic hot water (DHW). The high installation cost is a major barrier to their diffusion but, under certain conditions (climate, building use, alternative fuels, etc.), the investment can be profitable in the long term. We present a comprehensive modeling study on GCHPs, performed with the dynamic energy simulation software TRNSYS, reproducing the operating conditions of three building types (residential, office, and hotel), with two insulation levels of the building envelope (poor/good), with the climate conditions of six European cities. Simulation results highlight the driving variables for heating/cooling peak loads and yearly demand, which are the input to assess economic performance and environmental benefits of GCHPs. We found that, in Italy, GCHPs are able to reduce CO2 emissions up to 216 g CO2/year per euro spent. However, payback times are still quite high, i.e., from 8 to 20 years. This performance can be improved by changing taxation on gas and electricity and using hybrid systems, adding a fossil-fuel boiler to cover peak heating loads, thus reducing the overall installation cost compared to full-load sized GCHP systems.

  • Daikin Altherma Hybrid Heat Pump 2 a New Opportunity in Residential Heating!
    The natural combination DAIKIN ALTHERMA HYBRID HEAT PUMP 2 A new opportunity in residential heating! There is a growing demand from home owners to replace heating systems, especially replacing of gas boilers, with more efficient, more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly systems that reduce CO2 emissions, reduce energy consumption and protect their budget. The answer is the Daikin Altherma hybrid heat pump. For space heating, the Daikin Altherma hybrid heat pump will combine Hybrid technology air-to-water heat pump technology with gas condensing technology by searching for the optimum economical condition for its operation, combining parameters of energy costs (electricity, gas), heat pump efficiency and heat load requirements to deliver up to 35% more heating efficiency, plus major cost savings. For domestic hot water, the Daikin Altherma hybrid heat pump optimises the operation of the most efficient gas condensing boiler. Your benefits 9 Low running costs for heating and domestic hot water 9 Low investment cost 9 Provides sufficient heat in renovation applications 9 Easy and fast installation 3 What is an air-to-water heat pump? The Daikin Altherma air-to-water heat pump uses a sustainable energy source: extracting heat from the outside air. In a closed loop containing a refrigerant, a thermodynamic cycle is created through evaporation, 4/5 condensation, compression and expansion. This ‘pumps’ ambient heat heat from a lower to a higher temperature level. The heat gained is transferred to your home’s central 1/5 heating distribution system via a heat exchanger. electricity Depending on the model and conditions, a Daikin Altherma heat pump delivers about 5kWh of usable heat for every kWh of electricity it consumes.

  • Technical and Economical Feasibility of the Hybrid Adsorption Compression Heat Pump Concept for Industrial Applications M
    Technical and Economical Feasibility of the Hybrid Adsorption Compression Heat Pump Concept for Industrial Applications M. van der Pal A.K. Wemmers S.F. Smeding R. de Boer September 2012 ECN-M--12-074 TECHNICAL AND ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY OF THE HYBRID ADSORPTION COMPRESSION HEAT PUMP CONCEPT FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS M. van der Pal, A. Wemmers, S. Smeding, R. de Boer Group Thermal Systems, Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), PO Box 1, 1755 ZG, Petten, The Netherlands, email: [email protected] Abstract Heat pump technologies offer a significant potential for primary energy savings in industrial processes. Thermally driven heat pumps can use waste heat as driving energy source to provide either heating or cooling. A chemi-sorption heat transformer can upgrade a waste heat source to temperatures of 150- 200°C. The specific heat transformer process however requires waste heat temperatures in the range of 120°C, whereas waste heat sources of lower temperatures are more abundant. Using this lower temperature waste heat, and still reach the desired higher output temperatures can be achieved by the integration of a chemi-sorption and mechanical compression step in a single hybrid heat pump concept. This concept can offer an increased flexibility in temperatures, both for the waste heat source as for the heat delivery. The technical and economical feasibility of the proposed hybrid heat pump concept is evaluated. The range of operating temperatures of different chemi-sorption working pairs for as heat driven and as hybrid systems are defined, as well as their energy efficiencies. Investment costs for the hybrid systems are derived and payback times are calculated.

  • Ancillary Services Provided by Hybrid Residential Renewable Energy Systems Through Thermal and Electrochemical Storage Systems
    energies Article Ancillary Services Provided by Hybrid Residential Renewable Energy Systems through Thermal and Electrochemical Storage Systems Lorenzo Bartolucci, Stefano Cordiner, Vincenzo Mulone * and Marina Santarelli Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Rome Tor Vergata, via del Politecnico 1, 00133 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (L.B.); [email protected] (S.C.); [email protected] (M.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 March 2019; Accepted: 11 June 2019; Published: 24 June 2019 Abstract: Energy Management System (EMS) optimal strategies have shown great potential to match the fluctuating energy production from renewables with an electric demand profile, which opens the way to a deeper penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) into the electric system. At a single building level, however, handling of different energy sources to fulfill both thermal and electric requirements is still a challenging task. The present work describes the potential of an EMS based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies to both maximize the RES exploitation and serve as an ancillary service for the grid when a Heat Pump (HP) coupled with a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is used in a residential Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES). Cost savings up to 30% as well as a reduction of the purchased energy unbalance with the grid (about 15%–20% depending on the season) have been achieved. Moreover, the thermal energy storage leads to a more efficient and reliable use of the Heat Pump by generally decreasing the load factor smoothing the power output. The proposed control strategy allows to have a more stable room temperature, with evident benefits also in terms of thermal comfort.
