Abstract

A heat pump of domestic capacity and applicable for a wafer-powered system is studied. A design of the necessary parts is carried out, and realization of the heat pump system is achieved. In realization of the system, output power of a small-scale water turbine is considered, and an electrical motor requiring similar power is employed. The estimation of capital cost and payback period is not included in the study.
