Upgrade of Heat Pump System at Polytechnic University of Valencia: Enhancements and Performance

The Polytechnic University of Valencia has replaced the existing heat pump in its demonstration facility with a new HIREF model GSH212SX, designed for the GROUND-MED project. This reversible water-to-water heat pump utilizes R410A and features advanced components, including two Copeland compressors. The building's air-conditioned area spans 250 m², with specific heat and cooling demands. The new system demonstrates improved efficiency and adaptation to energy requirements, showcasing significant energy performance metrics compared to the previous Geo-Cool installation.

  1. Polytechnic University of ValenciaCAMPUS DEMO SYSTEM, SPAIN Prof. José Miguel Corberán Salvador PhD. Carla Montagud UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA Building and Use Heating & Cooling System Heat Pump building photo photo 1 The already existing heat pump from the Geo-Cool EU project was replaced by a new one manufactured by HIREF, model GSH212SX, designed specifically for the GROUND-MED project. It consists of a reversible water to water heat pump which works with R410A. It is reversible on both the refrigerant and the secondary fluid (water) sides. It comprises two brazed plate heat exchangers and two Copeland compressors working in tandem in order to be able to adapt the heat pump capacity to the building energy demand.
