dc.description.abstractDual-source heat pump unit can utilize the evaporation of the refrigerant at two different pressures. By adopting an ejector, high-pressure refrigerant stream can be used to lift compressor inlet pressure which results in a higher coefficient of performance (COP). This study proposes a renewable energy sourced and high-efficiency heat pump system which can be easily building integrated to offer a renewable heating solution. The system is devised on the complementation of dual thermal sources; one is air and the other one is solar, to maximize the utilization of ambient energy for highly efficient operation of heat pump. Using the advantage of the relatively lower operating temperature in the solar collector line, the thermal efficiency of the collector would be sufficient in winter. Adaptation of photovoltaics in the collector as a PV/T unit, will benefit the system from the produced electricity for further reduction of the demand from the grid. Along with the use of PV/T collector, the system can be potentially carbon neutral for larger collector areas. In this study, the performance improvement potential of a dual-sourced heat pump unit with an ejector as a booster is investigated for different locations in Turkey which presents different solar and weather profiles. The optimum collector evaporation temperatures are determined, and COP improvement potentials are discussed for different conditions. For a heating supply of 5 kW, the COP of the system can be improved by 22.6 % under 400 W/m2 and 10 degrees C ambient using 15 m2 PV/T collector. Including the electricity generated from the PV, reduction of the electricity demand from the grid can reach to 75 % for the same conditions.
