Abstract

Renewable energy sources are becoming more prominent in securing the energy needs of mankind. The survey and analysis of current status in the use of these appliances indicated the need of application of this technology. Low-potential energy sources of heat are sufficient from the quantitative and qualitative point of view. Heat pumps contribute to saving energy and reducing consumption. Working model of a heat pump for laboratory purposes was designed and constructed. It is intended for demonstration and implementation of laboratory measurements. The utilization of this device is suitable also for the use of solar energy. The heat pump is designed to allow user-friendly utilization for demonstration and experimental laboratory measurements. The achieved parameters of laboratory heat pump model are comparable with mass-produced heat pumps.
