Analysis of the economics and environmental friendliness of Area-compensated GSHPs in cold regions in China

Abstract

Ground Source Heat Pump is widely used in heating and cooling as a clean and efficient energy utilization technology. In cold regions, ground source heat pump systems have significant economic and environmental benefits. In this paper, we analyze the economic and environmental benefits of Area-compensated ground source heat pump systems in cold regions that achieve cooling and heating load balance through area compensation technology to assess their potential for sustainable development and environmental protection. The results show that the Area-compensated ground source heat pump system can operate stably and efficiently over a long period of time, and although the initial investment in the system is high, the initial investment can be recovered in a relatively short period of time by reducing energy consumption and operating costs. Compared with traditional heating and air conditioning systems, ground source heat pump systems can significantly save energy consumption and operating costs. At the same time, with the long-term operation of Area-compensated ground source heat pump systems, carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution can be greatly reduced compared to conventional systems. Area-compensated ground source heat pump systems provide a new way for sustainable development and environmental protection in cold regions by reducing energy consumption and operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and pollutant release, and support the promotion of ground source heat pump systems in practical applications.
