Abstract: Abstract In order to improve the heating performance of conventional air source heat pump system operated in cold regions, an air source heat pump system combined with latent thermal energy storage (ASHPLTES) has been proposed in the previous work. In this paper, a techno-economic analysis of ASHPLTES was carried out in four typical cities of China and compared with quasi-two-stage ASHP (QTASHP) system, coal fired boiler, wall-hanging gas boiler, and direct electric heating. Mathematical models were developed to evaluate the energy, environment...
