Testing standard for IHP. D2.2
report
A barrier for the market introduction of industrial heat pumps (IHPs) is the lack of standards on testing of such systems at high process temperatures. These standards reduce ambiguity which is critical regarding a technology where performance is de pendent on the operation conditions. The goal of this task report is to create a common benchmark method for measuring the performance of IHPs and establish a guideline which specifies methods for testing and rating of performance both for testing IHPs in the laboratory and on-site. Hence, the guideline is meant to serve as inspiration for a future HTHP testing standard. As a prerequisite for this, relevant existing standards about heat pump testing are first in troduced and evaluated in relation to characterization of IHPs. The developed guideline will also be used as a baseline and provide inputs for the test plans of the three demonstration cases in the SPIRIT project, which each are presented in the end of the report. The application of the guidelines is here discussed for each case.
