An economic analysis of a solar assisted heat pump system for cooling, water heating and drying
A solar assisted heat-pump system has been developed to provide cooling, water heating and drying. The energy required for the system is met by a combination of energy collected from the sun, ambient and the energy recovered from a vapor compression heat-pump system, which also serves as an air-cond...

A solar assisted heat-pump system has been developed to provide cooling, water heating and drying. The energy required for the system is met by a combination of energy collected from the sun, ambient and the energy recovered from a vapor compression heat-pump system, which also serves as an air-conditioner. The presence of evaporator-collector, which is in parallel connection with the room evaporator, enables the system to operate round the clock. Experiments and simulations were carried out to provide a better understanding of the system. Based on the validated simulation model, an economic optimization was performed to identify the best collector size for a given load and its distribution, using two methods, life cycle savings (LCS) and payback period.
