Abstract:
This thesis describes the performance of reversible absorption heat pump connected to DH network in different locations representing different operating conditions for non-residential buildings. Performance simulation is done using TRNSYS by defining the absorption machine using its characteristic equation. The results are seasonal COP in heating and cooling mode and potential DHW produced. The annual operation hour and the primary energy ratio of the system are also presented. It is found that the proposed system consumes less primary energy than the conventional system. Thus, the development of this type of system contributes towards the reduction of fossil fuel consumption
