Abstract
An IHP prototype was developed and tested over a range of operating modes and conditions. Test data was used to validate a detailed analysis model and the validated analytical tool was used to calculate the yearly performance of air- and ground-source IHP system designs optimized for R-410A in five major US cities. For the air-source IHP version, the simulation results showed ~46-67% energy savings depending upon location. For the ground-source IHP version, the simulation showed over 50% savings in all locations.
