DESIGN OF BUILDING HEATING SYSTEMS USING HEAT PUMPS

Abstract

This thesis presents an overview of the design of building heating systems using heat pumps. Heat pumps are increasingly being utilized as an energy-efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional heating systems in buildings. This paper explores the principles of heat pump technology, including the different types of heat pumps and their working mechanisms. The design considerations for integrating heat pumps into building heating systems are discussed, including system sizing, equipment selection, and control strategies. The benefits and challenges of using heat pumps for building heating are also examined, with a focus on energy savings, environmental impact, and system performance. Overall, this abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the design aspects of building heating systems using heat pumps, highlighting the potential for energy-efficient and sustainable heating solutions in the built environment.
