AB - In this study, the main design parameters of the heat pump/heat pipe  composite system were calculated. The operation characteristics of the heat  pump / heat pipe composite system under low temperature were experimentally  studied. The start-up character of the heat pipe radiator and heat pipe  radiator surface temperature distribution were obtained. The variation of  heating capacity and heating COP of the heat pump / heat pipe composite  system with different working condition was obtained. Experimental results  show that the heat pump/heat pipe composite system can operate efficiently  and steadily when the outdoor temperature is - 20 ~ 5℃, and meet the winter  heating demand in cold areas.
