Field Measurement and Energy-saving Potential Analysis on the Performance of a Sewage-water Heat Pump System
A sewage-water heat-pump system (SWHP) for building heating and cooling in Dalian
Liaoning Province
northeastern China
is measured on-site
which is a renewable energy demonstration project. The measurement results show that the average heating coefficient of performance (COP) of a single heat-pump unit and the whole system are 5.02 and 3.93
respectively
when the average sewage-water temperature is 10.45 ℃ during the entire heating season. The average cooling COPs are 6.26 and 4.54
respectively
when the average sewage-water temperature is 18.43 ℃ during the entire cooling season. To improve the system performance
an energy-saving analysis was conducted according to survey data. The test results show that the unit and system COPs increase by 16.08% and 11.36%
respectively
as the heat-transfer coefficient of the sewage heat exchanger increases by 50.08%. Moreover
a SWHP model was established
and the system energy consumption under fixed and variable-frequency water-pump conditions was simulated using the Transient System Simulation Tool (TRNSYS) software. The simulated result shows that the energy consumption of the variable-frequency operation is less than the fixed frequency by 18.52%.
