Failures in GSHPs

Numerous ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems in the United Kingdom are failing to meet target performance because of faults in design, installation and operation. This is the conclusion of a survey led by the HVAC contractors association B&ES. “It is not uncommon”, says project leader David Frise, “for as much as 9 kW to be lost in transmission from a GSHP calculated to deliver 28 kW.” &nbs...

VRF in France

Sales of VRF systems in France increased to over 15,000 units in 2013, a 4% gain over the year before. Two thirds of the demand came from small-scale renovation projects involving units of less than 100 kW. The competition in this region is generally from multi-split systems although overall sales of these units in ratings of over 17.5 kW fell by 14% in 2013.   Cassettes are the preferred for...

Heat Recovery Industry in Germany

Heat recovery was a built-in feature in around 23,000 new ventilation and air conditioning systems installed in Germany in 2013, saving an estimated 1,900 GWh of thermal energy for an input of 103 GWh of electricity used to drive the equipment. Looked at as a form of heat pump, this is an energy efficiency ratio of 18.3. These findings come from a study at the Environmental Campus at the technical...
