Thermo-Economic Analysis of an Air-to-Water Heat Pump

An air-to water heat pump was implemented in a school placed in rural area near Galati city. This facility was monitored for two years period. The implementation of the heat pump was considered because there is no heating or natural gas network in the village. This study presents an experimental thermo-economic analysis of this type of heat pump, using the results obtained in a cold period of the year. Using the registered values of thermo-electrical parameters by the controller, a medium value of the coefficient of performance of the heat pump was calculated. In the same time, a comparative economic analysis of the heat pump was performed.
