Abstract:
This project implemented a comprehensive monitoring system to evaluate the performance of an air source heat pump (ASHP) in heating mode under Anchorage, Alaska weather conditions. A data acquisition system was built to monitor and acquire data in fall/winter. The data was used to establish heating performance curve for the ASHP. The results were found to be useful in establishing the performance and thereby determining the applicability of ASHPs in regions of Alaska with relatively moderate climates. In addition, important data was obtained for further study of the coupling of ASHPs with Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPV/T) systems and thermal energy storage technology, such as gravel bed and concrete slab.
