Summary on Grant Application Form
The objective of the proposed research is to investigate a novel ejector-ground source heat pump system (EGSHP) for heating and cooling of buildings. The system uses an innovative ejector unit and environmentally-friendly working fluids. Specific objectives of the research are: 1) computer modelling of the new EGSHP system 2) comparison of modelling results with test results obtained from a modified laboratory-based ejector rig, 3) design, construction and testing of a prototype system.EngProg\
