Book Description
Gas heat pumps are coming, but by a different name. The manufacturers have elected not to call these products {open_quote}heat pumps{close_quotes} because advertising by gas distributors has been so effective at associating the term {open_quote}air-source heat pump{close_quotes} with cold blowing air. Nonetheless, gas-fired air-source heat pumps of the engine-driven and absorption types will be marketed starting in 1994 and in 1997, respectively, according to current plans. This paper identifies the generic participants that have been and will be involved in the gas heat pump deployment effort, and it reviews the underlying forces that caused (or likely will cause) those participants to act as they do. The participants include technology developers; the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) industry; the utility industry; and state utility regulators. The driving forces include the drifting of unitary HVAC products toward a commodity-like status, the decline of the domestic component of global HVAC markets, the restructuring of the HVAC and gas utility industries, the anticipated restructuring of the electric utility industry, the strengths and weaknesses of gas distributors, and state utility regulation. Also reviewed are technology status, manufacturer commitments, and timetables for introducing products. The road to widespread domestic market acceptance of gas heat pumps will likely be very different from that experienced by electric heat pump manufacturers in the 1950s and 1960s.

Heat Pumps for Energy Efficiency and Environmental Progress
Author: J. Bosma
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444596550
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 613
Book Description
The 70 papers collected in this volume present an up to date review of the trends in heat pump technology. The heat pump is reviewed both as being part of a more comprehensive system, and as a refined device providing energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions. Its implementation in a system or process must be carefully considered at an early stage of design or development, and process integration is discussed in detail as a valuable tool for industry.The heat pump is proving to be a highly effective energy conserving tool, particularly when designed and used as an integral part of a system. Environmental benefits are gained when energy is conserved, and heat pumps can make a major contribution in this area. However, some heat pumps use working fluids which are environmentally unfriendly, and the progress that has been made in the field of alternative refrigerants is reported on. The volume will prove an indispensable reference source on the wide-ranging applications that have been developed since the last international conference, on such topics as heat pump field trials, pilot plants and development programmes.

Residential Gas Heat Pump Assessment
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
There has been considerable activity in recent years to develop technologies that could reduce or levelize residential and light-commercial building space cooling electrical use and heating/cooling energy use. For example, variable or multi-speed electric heat pumps, electric ground-source heat pumps, dual-fuel heat pumps, multi-function heat pumps, and electric cool storage concepts have been developed; and several types of gas heat pumps are emerging. A residential gas heat pump (GHP) benefits assessment is performed to assist gas utility and equipment manufacturer decision making on level of commitment to this technology. The methodology and generic types of results that can be generated are described. National market share is estimated using a market segmentation approach. The assessment design requires dividing the 334 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAS) of the US into 42 market segments of relatively homogeneous weather and gas/electric rates (14 climate groupings by 3 rate groupings). Gas and electric rates for each MSA are evaluated to arrive at population-weighted rates for the market segments. GHPs are competed against 14 conventional equipment options in each homogeneous segment.

The Heat Pump. A Technical Look
Author: Laura Hoffmann
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 334648324X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: 1,3, Technical University of Munich, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the principle of heat pumps will be looked at and discussed more in detail. Heat pumps can play an important role in the transformation towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, due to their ability to lift low-grade environmental heat with power to a temperature level useful in buildings. They are efficient in providing heat when implemented correctly and can also provide demand response. Thus, heat pumps are able to provide, compared to other heating systems, significant carbon savings that are even expected to rise further in the future. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption poses one of the major issues that has to be dealt with at present. National and international climate change objectives demand a significant reduction in all sectors Along with the increasing expectations of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these global targets are causing a change in our energy system. The demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective systems have risen due primarily to dwindling resources causing increasing energy costs. To deal with these issues, the focus shifts more and more towards phasing out fossil fuels and replacing them with electrical energy systems powered by renewable intermittent energy sources, such as sun and wind, to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. One way to heat buildings more efficiently is the use of a heat pump. Heat pumps have become popular in Germany, by now, over 1 million have been implemented.
