- Title
Heat Pumps for Cold Climates.
- Authors
Roth, Kurt; Dieckmann, John; Brodrick, James
- Abstract
The article focuses on the proposed design modifications and technologies for cold climate heat pumps. It cites the air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) set up in temperate to warm areas in the U.S., particularly in the south of the Mason-Dixon Line. It also presents the two major issues that make traditional ASHPs unfit as a source of heat in cold climates. It offers various modifications to increase the heat capacity of conventional ASHPs, and to make it appropriate for cold climate. Moreover, it discusses the superior primary energy efficiency and the factors affecting the market condition of the ASHPs.
