Monitoring System of A Heat Pump Installation for Heating A Rural House Using Low-grade Heat from a Surface Watercourse
<b> </b>Increasing the efficiency of heat pump systems primarily used for heat supply to buildings is an important topic. This is especially true for systems constructed according to non-standard schemes and which use low-grade heat from various sources that are rarely considered for the...
