Abstract

Eliminating natural gas as a fuel for heating residential and industrial units is crucial for reducing environmental pollutants. The challenge lies in finding alternative heating systems and repurposing existing infrastructures, like gas pipes. This article presents a new approach to supplying energy to heat pumps in a post-natural gas era using repurposed gas pipes to transport water for ice-source heat pumps. It highlights the advantages of ice-source heat pumps and compares their thermal performance with other types. The proposed system integrates ice-source and geothermal heat pumps, offering space efficiency, compact design, cost-effective centralization, optimized subsidies, seasonal cooling, weather resilience, and eliminates the need for new piping.
