Abstract


Taking a demonstration project of a ground source heat pump system under karst geological conditions in Guilin as the research object, based on the measured data under operating conditions in a typical season, and sorted according to the importance of influencing factors, this paper mainly studies the influence of system at very low load rate and unit load rate on the operation effect of ground source heat pump system. The research results show that the ground source heat pump system is in good operating condition when the system load rate is lower than 30.00% and the unit load rate is higher than 80.00% in typical seasons, and the proportion of power consumption of units and pumps meets the energy consumption requirements of transmission and distribution system. During the operation of the heat pump unit in July, the average refrigeration performance coefficient of the unit is 4.48, and the average refrigeration energy efficiency ratio of the system is 3.59; during the operation in January, the average heating performance coefficient of the unit is 4.26, and the average heating energy efficiency ratio of the system is 3.32; the energy saving rate in summer and winter is 30.72% and 35.93%, respectively. The energy-saving effect of the ground source heat pump system is remarkable, and it is worth popularizing and applying in Guilin.
