Abstract

Water source heat pumps are devices that can produce heating or cooling in the place using the energy in the ambient water which serves as the easiest source of heat. The heat pumps, which utilize the ambient water on the boiling side, are able to transfer the energy they have obtained to the water or air on the load side. The renewable geothermal energy, which is produced by the alternative energy sources, is also an important potential in Turkey as a sustainable and environmental- friendly source. The subject of utilizing geothermal energy has been among the most balanced and high efficiency, low maintenance comfortable energy sources in pace with the technological developments of the heat pumps. The widespread and daily use of the ground source heat pumps and the examination of the situation in Turkey lead us to the determination of the potential applicability which is one of the important issues. In this study, the COP of various parameters and different levels of the water source heat pumps were calculated according to the Taguchi experiment design.

Keywords
