Application and analysis of energy tower heat pump technology in air conditioning engineering

Explains the development, principles and classification of energy tower heat pump technology. Analyses the characteristics of energy tower heat pump. Briefly describes its key technological points, design features and operation management. Points out that the energy tower is different from the cooling tower and that the cooling tower may make its heat pump work improperly because of lacking of the ability to utilize low-grade heat source. Comparing it with other air conditioning methods, shows that the energy tower can be used as an alternative of air conditioning equipment to achieve cooling, heating and hot water supplying in the areas to the south of the Yangtze River in China.
