| Abstract: | An analytical model is presented and analyzed to predict the long term performance of a solar assisted house heating system with a heat pump and an underground spherical thermal energy storage tank. The system under investigation consists of a house, a heat pump, solar collectors and a storage tank. The present analytical model is based on a proper coupling of the individual energy models for the house, the heat pump, useful solar energy gain, and the transient heat transfer problem for the thermal energy storage tank. The transient heat transfer problem outside the energy storage tank is solved using a similarity transformation and Duhamel’s superposition principle. A computer code based on the present model is used to compute the performance parameters for the system under investigation. Results from the present study indicate that an operational time span of 5–7 years will be necessary before the system under investigation can attain an annually periodic operating condition. Results also indicate a decrease in the annually minimum value of the storage tank temperature with a decrease in the energy storage tank size and/or solar collector area. |
