Simulating brine-to-water CO2 heat pump prototypes in Norway and Austria

Aug. 24, 2011 – The development and testing of brine-to-water CO2 heat pump prototypes for domestic hot water-only operation and for combined space heating and hot water production took place in Norway and Austria under the IEA Heat Pump Programme’s collaborative project “Economical heating and cooling systems for low energy houses”. The project has now been completed and final reports have been published.

Several heat pump prototypes developed and tested under Annex 32 of the International Energy Agency’s Heat Pump Programme (IEA HPP) considered heat pump functionalities such as passive or active cooling and the use of natural refrigerants with reduced global warming impact, aspects that had not been covered to date by many of the marketable heat pumps for application in low energy houses.
