An Adaptability Evaluation on Surface Water-Source Heat Pumps in Guilin, China

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the adaptability of the water-source heat pumps (WSHP) in urban Guilin. Volume data of all assessed water areas are obtained from decades-long observations by Guilin hydrological station and government reports. Judging from data from the same sources and fresh samples, water quality in assessed areas generally meets the requirement in Technical Code for Ground-Source Heat Pumps System (GB 50366-2009). According to continuous measurement of temperature change in separate years, water temperature is basically suitable for demands in Water-Source Heat Pumps (GB/T 19409-2003). By assuming the assessed water areas as flowing waters, the maximum instantaneous heat capacity of each water area in each month is calculated. By setting the energy per square meter of building area needs as standard values, the maximum serviceable building area each water area can offer in each month is calculated. This paper can serve as guidance in adaptability evaluation on WSHP projects in hydrological-alike environment.
