Abstract

To overcome the disadvantages of the open loop seawater source heat pump (SWHP), a closed loop SWHP system with casted heat exchangers (CHEs) is presented in this paper. Consisting of closed-loop of pipes immersed in seawater, CHEs are devised for extraction or injection of thermal energy from/into the seawater. A mathematical model has been established and solved analytically to describe the heat transfer process of CHEs in summer. An experimental system has been built to simulate the heat transfer process. The experimental results show that the relative error of the temperature distributions along the CHEs between the experimental data and numerical simulation result is less than 5%. As a result, the mathematical model can be applied to optimization analysis of the CHEs used for SWHP systems.
