The work completed to date in documenting the design of packaged Solar Assisted Optimized Heat Pump (SAOHP) systems as a step towards stimulating the advancement of an industrial, commercial, and professional capability for producing and distributing this type of system is covered. The SAOHP system consists of a collector group, a storage group, and an energy transport group. The design for the collector group with first tier parts and assembly lists are included, along with the energy transport group designs for the smaller capacity units. Rating curves are included for the 30,000 BtuH (2-/sup 1///sub 2/ ton) unit. A sample …

Description
The work completed to date in documenting the design of packaged Solar Assisted Optimized Heat Pump (SAOHP) systems as a step towards stimulating the advancement of an industrial, commercial, and professional capability for producing and distributing this type of system is covered. The SAOHP system consists of a collector group, a storage group, and an energy transport group. The design for the collector group with first tier parts and assembly lists are included, along with the energy transport group designs for the smaller capacity units. Rating curves are included for the 30,000 BtuH (2-/sup 1///sub 2/ ton) unit. A sample program printout for the performance analysis program is presented. Climatic region definition work is included in complete form. The economic analysis format for making life cycle cost comparisons between various available heating and cooling systems and the SAOHP is included.
