An assessment of ground-coil heat-pump technology
Abstract
Results from an analytical comparison of the performance and economics of residential space conditioning with three types of ground coupled heat pump systems and air source systems in ten metropolitan areas of the United States are summarized. Additional results from parametric analyses of the effects of costs, soil properties, operating strategy and alternate system configurations are also summarized.
