在康涅狄格州斯坦福德的一座商业办公楼中，对一个具有代表性的水循环热泵（WLHP）系统的运行细节进行了为期三年的全面现场试验。大量研究结果表明，所研究的WLHP系统在所有季节都能提供令人满意的舒适度，而且非常可靠，但在许多领域可以提高能效和成本效益。这些结果提供了对系统及其组件在所有季节的能源使用需求的洞察，描述了组件之间以及与建筑物及其控制装置之间的相互作用，并提供了确定WLHP系统配置和开发改进的操作和控制策略的机会。 总结特定测试现场的调查结果，并试图将其作为一个整体应用于WLHP现场。试验场地是一座现代化的、全电动的五层建筑，有72000平方英尺的有条件的办公空间，上层有明确的核心和周边区域，下层有两个停车场。WLHP系统为双管系统，包括具有代表性的电流核心和周边热泵、一台300千瓦的电锅炉和闭环冷却塔。关键词:测试、优化、热泵、水热泵、设计、性能、商业、办公室、美国、节能、成本、经济性、能耗、组件、操作、控制、多层建筑、全电动、空调、热舒适性、案例研究引文: 研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1991年，第97卷，第2部分

A comprehensive field test to study the operating details of a representative water-loop heat pump (WLHP) system has been carried out for three years in a commercial office building in Stamford, Connecticut. The large body of results has shown that the WLHP system studied provides satisfactory comfort in all seasons and is very reliable but that there are many areas in which energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness could be improved. These results have provided insight into the energy use demand of the system and its components in all seasons, characterised the interactions of the components with each other and with the building and its controls, and provided the opportunity to identify WLHP system configurations and develop improved operating and control strategies. Summarises the findings for the specific test site and seeks to apply them to the WLHP field as a whole. The test site is a modern, all-electric, five-storey building with 72,000 ft2 of conditioned office space having well-defined core and perimeter areas on the upper floors, with two parking floors below. The WLHP system is two-pipe and incorporates representative current core and perimeter heat pumps, a 300-kW electric boiler, and closed-loop cooling tower.KEYWORDS: testing, optimisation, heat pumps, water heat pumps, designing, performance, commercial, offices, USA, energy conservation, costs, economics, energy consumption, components, operations, controls, multistorey buildings, all electric, air conditioning, thermal comfort, case studies
