Measurement and Analysis of the Groundwater Source Heat Pump System in Shenyang

Abstract Introduction As one of the pilot cities for renewable energy application, which is defined by Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Construction of the People's Republic of China, Shenyang has widely popularized and applied GSHP(Ground Source Heat Pump) technology in winter heating and summer cooling. Methods This paper uses the GSHP system of a residential district of Shenyang as an example to investigate, test and analyze the GSHP project. The test of the indoor temperature and humidity should be done after the buildings have achieved stable thermal. Conclusions The system had stable performance, which benefited the system to have long-term operation. Compared with traditional air conditioner, the operation cost of GSHP was lower and it saves about 21.39% annual operation cost, which leads to the result that GSHP is economic and energy saving. The paper focuses on the experimental verification, needs further simulation software to calculate the results. This project was financially supported by the National science and technology support plan sub-topic (2011BAJ05B01-04).
