Experimental study of a photovoltaic solar-assisted heat-pump/heat-pipe system
TLDR
In this paper, a practical design for a heat pump with heat-pipe photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collectors is presented, and the hybrid system is called the photoveoltaic solar-assisted heat-pump/heat-pipe (pV-SAHP/HP) system, which was designed to be capable of operating in three different modes, namely, the heatpipe, solar assisted heat pump, and air-source heatpump modes.About:
