Economical analysis of ground-source heat pump combined with ice storage air conditioning system

With an engineering example, develops an energy consumption analysis mode, and calculates the annual power consumption and the annual operation cost. Compares from an economical angle different cold and heat source schemes with two evaluation methods of the payback period of investment and the average annual operating cost. The results show that the ground-source heat pump combined with ice storage air conditioning system has a moderate payback period of investment and the lowest average annual operation cost.
