EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF A CONTINUOUS OPERATING GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM IN WUHAN, CHINA

ABSTRACT
Coefficient of performance of air conditioning system is the ratio of cooling capacity and power consumption, and also is an important parameter to characterize the performance of the system. Based on an actual ground source heat pump system in Wuhan, China, this paper calculated the coefficient of performance of the system under long-term continuous cooling operation and then evaluated the performance of the system through experiment. The continuous testing time ranged from June 1, 2017, to June 15, 2017, and the outside air temperature ranged from 21°C to 32°C during the testing progress. The experimental results show that the coefficient of performance of the system changes non-linearly with time, and varies greatly with the atmospheric temperature. The results also show that the coefficient of performances average value of the system is about 3.3, and the system has good performance under refrigeration conditions. This paper helps to understand the changes in the distribution characteristics of the coefficient of performance of the ground source heat pump system and promote the wide application of the ground source heat pump system.
