A well designed ground source heat pump installation should achieve an SPF of 3.5, or over 5 if linked to a solar-assisted thermal bank. [6] Example: For a heat pump delivering 120,000,000 BTU during the season, when consuming 15,000 kWh, the HSPF can be calculated as : HSPF = 120000000 (BTU) / (1000) / 15000 (kWh) HSPF = 8
An absorption-compression heat pump (ACHP) is a device that integrate an electric compressor in an absorption heat pump. In some cases this is obtained by combining a vapor-compression heat pump and an absorption heat pump. It is also referred to as a hybrid heat pump [1] which is however a broader field.
A heat pump can be used to cool or heat a house. The heat pump transfers heat by transmitting of R-410A refrigerant. [2] Hybrid heat works with gas furnace and electric heat pump systems [3] or using a variable-speed fan. Variable-speed fans use direct-current-electronically commutated motors (ECM). [4] [5]
The COP usually exceeds 1, especially in heat pumps, because instead of just converting work to heat (which, if 100% efficient, would be a COP of 1), it pumps additional heat from a heat source to where the heat is required. Most air conditioners have a COP of 3.5 to 5. [3]
As of 2022 the installation cost of a heat pump is more than a gas boiler, but with the "Boiler Upgrade Scheme" [104] government grant and assuming electricity/gas costs remain similar their lifetime costs would be similar on average. [105]
In the United States, the efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) which is defined by the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute, a trade association, in its 2008 standard AHRI 210/240, Performance Rating of Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment.
