Analysis of a heat pump system based on borhole heat exchangers for a swimming pool complex in Krynica, S-Poland

Abstract

The economical possibilities of using heat pumps for space and pool water heating in a swimming pool complex to be built in a spa resort in Krynica, S-Poland are explored. This analysis includes statistical calculations of air temperature data, load, heat demand, heat sources for peak heating loads, and calculations of profitability of selected alternative heating designs based on a heat pump system. Some calculation methods for designing borehole heat exchangers are shown, some data from the experience of utilisation are described and methodology for finding the optimal limits between basic heat load and peak load examined.
