ABSTRACT

In India energy auditors in some cases have recommended ground water based heat pump in place of common HVAC system to achieve better efficiency. However the users were made to understand that heat pumps are not suitable for Indian climatic condition and it produces no better result than the conventional system. This article tries to find answer to this debate thru an impartial analysis with the available data. First the concept is tested thermodynamically to compare the derived COPs and next from the experimental data on specific energy consumption.
