State-of-the-art assessment of hybrid heat pumps
Abstract
The hybrid heat pump is evaluated and is compared with other heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system options. A hybrid heat pump is an HVAC system which includes an electrically driven heat pump and supplementally fired gas or oil boiler. This system was compared with heat pumps, oil-fired boilers, and gas-fired boilers.
