SOFTWARE AND MODELLING TOOLS FOR LOW ENTHALPY<br />
GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS AND HEAT PUMP DEVELOPMENTS<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
D<br />
Development a software for simulation the performance of geothermal system, including the heat<br />
pump<br />
Create the guideline for optimal selection of configuration the heat pump in function to application<br />
Create the guideline for optimizer setup between geothermal system and others removable energy<br />
Development of new ground source heat pump of high temperature with low GWP refrigerant<br />
uring the <strong>Cheap</strong>-GSHP's project is developed the free software platform (DSS = Dynamic Simulation<br />
.........Software) with the friendly user interface. In this software is implemented a special algorithmic for<br />
simulation of the heat pumps performances and the ground source heat exchanger performance. Two<br />
dierent calculation methods are developed in the first task. One simplified model with easy input for<br />
non-expert users. The second mode is for expert users and it is based on full dynamic simulation,<br />
including the ground, the building and the heat pump. The software enables to include solar thermal<br />
collectors for heating dominant conditions for the recharge of the ground.<br />
T<br />
he other result is an inventory of the heat pumps with the technologies of the dierent components<br />
........(evaporators, condensers, compressors, compressor drives, lamination mechanisms, refrigerants,<br />
controls, others like ejectors) and to create a selection guide line. It includes a cost/benefit guide to help<br />
the selection of the best technology for the heat pump considering the working conditions, that will be<br />
included in the selection software. The inventory includes also the environmental impact of the use un<br />
refrigerants combined with the heat-pump performance. The WP includes also the study of dierent<br />
typical plant configurations in combination with other removable energy technologies like solar thermal,<br />
wind, photovoltaic and storage systems. The output include a guideline and cost analysis table to help the<br />
optimization of the total plant configuration for dierent application, user priorities and the regional<br />
energy prices. This information are included in DSS.<br />
T<br />
he last result is the design and manufacture of a new generation<br />
.......geothermal heat pump with natural refrigerant like CO2, used in transcritical<br />
cycle and low GWP HFO R1234ze. The heat pump is designed to<br />
produce high temperature water, up to 80°C with low temperature<br />
dierence. The technology applied is the two stage in partial cascade cycle<br />
and the ejector to maximize the performance on the evaporator and<br />
reduce the investments on the ground source heat exchanger. This new<br />
heat pump prototype is installed at <strong>Tech</strong>nical Museum Tesla in Zagreb for<br />
the air conditioning of the exhibition room<br />
I<br />
n conclusion the WP create a software and guideline to help all the user to selection the complex<br />
....geothermal system combination many removable technologies, in this way the result would be to<br />
increase a sensitization the people with this new eco-friendly technology.<br />
