Abstract

The work provides a method of determining the number of energy components of the heating system of residential individual buildings with air-to-water heat pumps in the conditions of changing potential of heat-containing environment for different climatic areas. On the basis of the analytical and empirical dependencies obtained, reflecting the connection between the energy indicators of the heating-heat pump system, the heating system and heat pumps were analyzed during the heating period. Graphic dependences on energy consumption and thermal energy production on climatic characteristics - temperature and duration of its standing for the characteristic points of the country’s climatic zones - “moderate-cold,” “moderate” and “warm with mild winter” are given. Conclusions have been drawn about the possibility and prospects of using heat pumps as heat generators in heating systems.
