Energy consumption in buildings is responsible for about 35% of final energy in developed countries. Due to this and the growing environmental awareness, energy saving measures in buildings are increasingly being promoted. One of them is the use of heat pumps for domestic hot water (DHW) heating.
This work proposes to analyse an existing installation in a real building from an experimental and numerical point of view in order to optimise its operation and draw conclusions applicable to future designs.
The student will have the opportunity to learn about the actual operation of a water-to-water heat pump.
Among other skills he/she will develop the use of experimental equipment as well as the critical analysis of results.
