Abstract

In the light of the illumination characteristics and the specific features that the outdoor temperature in winter in the northern frigid regions is excessively low, presented was a scheme for heating by using solar energy-soil source heat pumps and with Harbin City serving as a background, the influence of such factors as the primary energy source utilization rate, change in fuel prices etc. on the operation energy consumption and cost was compared and analyzed under the following five heating modes: solar energy-soil source heat pumps, soil source heat pumps, oil-fired boilers, gas-fired boilers and electrically heated boilers. The authors have come to a conclusion that the solar energy-soil source heat pumps have a lowest energy consumption and cost and the highest energy source utilization rate among the above-mentioned five heating modes.
