Ecological Analysis of Heat Pumps in Poland in Terms of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Ecological Analysis of Heat Pumps in Poland in Terms of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

The purpose of this work is a comparison of indirect carbon dioxide emissions between the different heat pump types that operate in Polish climate conditions. This analysis embraces an air–water heat pump (ASHP), ground–water heat pump (GSHP), water–water heat pump (WSHP), and a WSHP with a separati...
