Abstract: Abstract To date, the role of heat pumps in UK and European housing has been largely restricted to newbuild, utilising ground source units coupled to under floor heating systems. Therefore the challenge is to develop air source heat pumps whose role is to displace the traditional domestic fossil fuel boiler with the minimum of domestic disturbance by utilising a system capable of heating radiators to sufficient temperatures to maintain comfort and safety. The technical challenges to be overcome at this stage are maintaining high coefficient of ...
