Abstract

Abstract: In order to better master the internal airflow distribution characteristics of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collector on air source heat pump (ASHP) system heating performance, CFD software was applied in studying the building-integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPV/T) sys-tem. A mathematical model of BIPV/T and ASHP integrated heating system was established. Numerical simulation of the system was conducted based on the typical meteorological data in Shenyang area. The influence of the inlet and outlet velocity, internal flow field distribution and temperature field distribution of the BIPV/T system were analyzed on the system thermal efficiency. The relationship between optimal COP and the inlet and outlet velocity of ASHP system was studied. The optimal inlet velocity of the BIPV/T – ASHP integrated system was determined to be 4 m/s, and the COP reached 4.6.
