Abstract
The gas-fired chemisorption heat pump (CSHP) is a promising technology for high-efficiency cold-climate residential heating. The CSHP utilizes the heat of reversible chemical reactions between sorbent and refrigerant to extract heat from cold ambient and supply high-temperature heat to the indoors. The efficiency of CSHP depends on the ambient and heat rejection temperatures. This study evaluates the seasonal performance of a CSHP by first develop a dynamic system model to generate a performance map for various ambient and heat-supply temperatures; then the bin method is used to evaluate the CSHP seasonal performance in two cold-climate locations for space and water heating.
