Research for Energy Consumption of Water-loop Heat Pump System Based on Circulating-water Energy Gap under Nonstandard Conditions by Yu Qidong, Zhu Neng

“…In order to study the energy consumption law of water-loop heat pump system under nonstandard conditions, the circulating water was selected as the research foundation and on the basis of the circulating water energy equations, the system energy consumption equations were built by using a linear transfer function method. The theoretical results show that the change law is nonlinear between the system energy consumption and load rate, and it will more remarkable in winter; because the effect of load rate on the energy consumption, with the circulating water energy changing, the change law of system energy consumption will appear a distortion characteristic, which significantly affect system energy saving. …”
