From the Bottom to the Top: Sustainable Heat Pumps in Residential Buildings

Society urgently needs sustainable solutions to heat the building stock, such as heat pumps. This presentation gives an overview of suitable heat pumps depending on the refrigerant (from the bottom), the thermodynamic process, and the system controller (to the top) to highlight research topics.

Session description

Society urgently needs solutions to heat the building stock below 100 °C sustainably. Compared to combustion-based solutions, heat pumps provide low-temperature heat. Therefore, heat pumps avoid high exergy losses due to very high temperatures that occur due to combustion.

This presentation provides an overview of suitable heat pumps for residential buildings depending on the refrigerant choice (from the bottom), the thermodynamic process design, and the system controller functions (to the top). Since design and control are mutually dependent, their interdependencies must be studied to exploit the full sustainability potential of heat pumps in residential ...
