Air source absorption heat pump (ASAHP) is of great significance for heating in North China. To improve the reliability and efficiency of ASAHP in cold climates
double-stage
double-stage coupling and booster-assisted ASAHP are put forward. Performances of the three proposed systems under different air temperatures are comparatively simulated. For fan coil heating
the double-stage coupling ASAHP performs the best when air temperature below -25℃ is not dominant
otherwise double-stage ASASHP should be considered. Primary energy efficiency (PEE) of ASAHP can be 28% and 19% higher than that of coal boiler when the outdoor air temperature is -15 and -30℃
respectively. As for floor radiant heating
booster-assisted ASAHP performs the best
with a PEE as high as 0.953 and 0.874 when the outdoor air temperature is -15 and -30℃
which is 36% and 25% higher than that of coal boiler. Considering that performance of ASAHP will be better when the air temperature is higher
the energy saving potential over the whole heating season will be much optimistic.
