Compressor heat pump for greenhouse heating
article
In the Netherlands the gas and electricity company Delfland installed a gasmotor driven air-to-water compressor heat pump of 250kW in a greenhouse. For a full year this heat pump was carefully monitored as was the conventional heating system and the greenhouse climate itself. Computer models were developed of the greenhouse and the heat pump, which were validated on the measured data and subsequently used for evaluating the heat pump project. The installed heat pump system performed with a relatively high COP and proved to be reliable. In the near future the simulation models will be used in an optimization study on heat pump application in greenhouses.
