Abstract

A new type of solar-air source heat pump water heating system was developed for space heating and residential hot water supply. The specially designed multi-source collector/evaporator (C/E) using spiral-finned tubes could absorb heat from both solar radiation and ambient air. A prototype was designed and tested on different weather conditions in October in Nanjing, China. The experimental results showed that the prototype could heat water from 40 °C up to 55 °C efficiently both in the daytime and at night. It operated in the solar-source mode with a high averaged COP of 5.1 in the daytime when the solar radiation was 731 W/m 2. Meanwhile, it operated in the air-source mode stably with a averaged COP of 3.5 at night, avoiding using electricity as a backup energy source.
