Abstract

Employing booster heat pumps (BHP) in district heating systems can provide a way to use low temperature heat sources for district heating as they allow locally increasing the water temperature on the user side where necessary. Thereby, it can provide decreased heat loss of a district heating system. This experimental study investigated steady state thermal behavior of a BHP for cases with different forward temperature and different flow rates on the user side. The unit used R134a as working fluid.
