Solar Assisted Heat Pump Study for Heating of Military Facilities.

Abstract

This study identified 21 generic solar assisted heat pump systems and subjectively evaluated them. The six most promising systems were evaluated in further detail. A complete objective analysis of the two most promising systems was then made to determine which could be most economical to install in a family housing unit at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas. The system chosen was a solar hot water heating system in parallel with a water source heat pump. Preliminary drawings intergrating this system into a family housing unit at Little Rock AFB were developed. The system selected had a 27-32 year pay back. (Author)
