Technology that adds thermal storage tank to the heat pump system for cooling, heating, and water supply

 

Client / Market

  • Cooling, heating and hot water supply market in residential and industrial sectors

 

Necessity of this Technology

  • Existing small sized ice and cold water storage facility is used for cooling only that annual operation efficiency is very low.
  • To improve the annual operation efficiency, a heat pump with thermal storage tank that used for all 4 seasons is applied

 

Technical Differentiation

  • Cooling and hot water supply operation using ice storage + hot water storage system during summer season and hot water thermal storage operation system during other seasons
  • Heat pump cycle to generate medium-temperature water of 60℃ to 70℃ during heating

 

Excellence of Technology

  • Prototype production and performance realization through system design and cycle simulation
  • Over 12% energy saving compared to conventional boilers (※ Boiler : 85% of efficiency for direct combustion type, electrical production/power transmission efficiency of 40%, 90%, respectively; assumption)

Current Intellectual Property Right Status

PATENT
  • Heat Pump System Equipped with Heating and Control Method (KR0721420)
  • Thermal Storage Type Heat Pump Design Program (06-01-121-002799 program registered)
KNOW-HOW
