Publieke samenvatting / Public summary

Aanleiding
There is a need to develop a heat pump that uses clean working fluids, compact, affordable, and has better efficiency than state-of-the-art to provide heat, cold and warm tap water in a household.

Doelstelling
Increase the COP of the heatpump, zero GWP working fluid and mass production plan.

Korte omschrijving
The main activities in this project are related to increase the Test Readiness Level from 2-4 and Business Readiness Level from 2-4. A detailed numerical calculations will be performed to improve the heat exchangers. Following this a detailed design of the heat pump will be made and manufactured. The heat pump will be tested to supply cold and heat in lab conditions. Furthermore, system studies will be performed and a bill of materials, mass production plan and heat sources feasibility will be drafted. The last activity is to connect the heat pump to an external heat source unit to test at relevant conditions.

Resultaat
The validation of a compact, all weather heat pump for heating, cooling and tap water needs of a dwelling powered by dutch knowledge and technology.
