A heating system is described that uses solar thermal technology in the heating cycle using the compression principle to reduce the electrical consumption of the compressors, thereby increasing the efficiency of systems being used for heating with an increased refrigerant flow. Thermal energy provided from solar thermal energy collectors may be used. The rate of efficiency of the total heating system depends heavily on the size and construction of the heat exchanger array and the pipework to and from these heat exchangers. The system uses proper dimensioning, components in the pipework, and logic groups with sensors and actuators attached in that pipework to increase energy efficiency.
Water/pool heating system following the compression cycle process, which contains the components compressor (4), solar thermal collectors (1), heat exchanger (2), condenser (3), logic controller (9), refrigerant pipes (5), which are connected to each other in the heating cycle, where the refrigerant pipes (5) connect the compressor (4) with the solar thermal collectors (1), with the heat exchanger (2) with the condenser (3).
Method for a water/pool heating system, which contains in its heating cycle at least refrigerant grade solar thermal collector/s and a heat exchanger.
