Setup of a laboratory to analyse heat pump performance

Descripción del proyecto

Un laboratorio para comprobar y predecir el rendimiento de las bombas de calor

La tecnología de las bombas de calor residenciales es tan eficiente desde el punto de vista energético que podría hoy por hoy sustituir a los sistemas de calor basados en combustibles fósiles. A pesar del rápido desarrollo de la tecnología, aún quedan por superar ciertos escollos. A pesar del entusiasmo que se muestra por la tecnología de las bombas de calor residenciales en el ámbito académico, aún se echa en falta una medición y análisis sistemáticos de su eficiencia llevados a cabo de un modo reproducible y sin ambigüedades. Faltan análisis que abarquen todo el espectro de uso energético así como una técnica de predicción del uso o del rendimiento a largo plazo en distintos contextos. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos LAB2SHAPE se propone crear un laboratorio que pueda evaluar y certificar con independencia el rendimiento de una bomba de calor y predecir su funcionamiento durante amplios periodos de tiempo y en distintos entornos.

Objetivo

In order to replace fossil fuel-based residential heating systems, heat pump technologies have matured rapidly. Although heat pumps are known to be an extremely efficient way of heating and cooling, there is at this time no consistent method for analysing and quantifying the efficiency of heat pumps in a reliable and reproducible way. In addition, existing analytical methods do not take into account the complete energetic performance of heat pumps, which e.g. includes heating, cooling, the production of hot water and defrosting cycles. Moreover, there is no reproducible and reliable method for making predictions regarding the energetic performance of heat pumps over a longer time and in different scenarios, such as changing climate conditions and in district heating applications. Peutz is a Dutch SME that specialises in advising clients on a wide range of topics in construction engineering, and it sees a clear business opportunity in setting up a laboratory that is able to independently measure and certify the performance of heat pumps. Moreover, it envisions that this lab will be able to reliably predict heat pump performance over a longer time and in different environments. In order to fully explore this business opportunity, understanding of general energy theory, in combination with software and hardware/electronics expertise is required. In addition, knowledge and expertise with respect to experimental data acquisition and processing is essential. Such very specialised expertise is currently not available within the company, and due to a high demand and very limited pool of candidates it has been impossible to attract this expertise in the Netherlands. The IA grant will increase Peutz’ international visibility and provide financial resources to find, attract and train a suitable candidate outside of the Netherlands. When successful, the IA will be able bring Peutz to a higher level by transforming the idea to a real innovation with great societal relevance.
