Seawater source heat pump system (SWHP) is a renewable energy utilization system. But it is lack of practical application study about the system up to now. In this study
a SWHP system in coastal area of the northern Yellow Sea was measured. The winter measurement results showed that the average heating COP of a heat pump unit and the whole system were 2.43 and 1.86 respectively during the measurement period while the corresponding COP were 2.99 and 2.30 respectively during the whole heating season. The summer measurement results showed that the average cooling COP of the system was 3.35 during the measurement period.This paper further analyzed the major cause of the low free cooling system COP
and it is that the fan coil units are not selected by actual seawater temperature
which leads to the low supply and return water temperature difference (only 1 ℃) and high circulating pump energy consumption.
