本文比较了五种热泵系统的性能，以最终确定它们最适合的住宅应用。它包括管道式单速、双速、变速和两个无管道小型分体式变速热泵。该分析是在一个名为TRNSYS的经过验证的建筑能耗模拟工具中进行的。从设备类型、8种独特气候和12个不同风格、结构和效率的住宅中，总共开发和模拟了480个组合。结果比较了在ANSI/AHRI标准210/240额定试验条件下，应用的季节能效比（SEER）和供暖季节性能系数（HSPF）与每个热泵模型计算的SEER和HSPF。每个热泵最合适的应用取决于气候、设备尺寸、辅助热量和其他因素对性能的影响。 引文:伊利诺伊州芝加哥ASHRAE交易——第121卷第1部分

This paper compares the performance of five heat pump systems to ultimately identify the residential applications where they are most suitable. It includes ducted single-speed, dual-speed, variable-speed, and two ductless mini-split variable- speed heat pumps. The analysis is conducted in a validated building energy simulation tool called TRNSYS. A total of 480 combinations derived from the equipment types, 8 unique climates, and 12 homes varying in style, construction, and efficiency were developed and simulated. The results compare the applied seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) relative to each heat pump’s model-calculated SEER and HSPF at ANSI/ AHRI Standard 210/240-rated test conditions. The most appropriate applications for each heat pump are based on how climate, equipment sizing, auxiliary heat, and other factors influence performance.
