✦ Synopsis

In order to investigate the performance of the combined solar}heat pump system with energy storage in encapsulated phase change material (PCM) packings for residential heating in Trabzon, Turkey, an experimental set-up was constructed. The experimental results were obtained from November to May during the heating season for two heating systems. These systems are a series of heat pump system, and a parallel heat pump system. The experimentally obtained results are used to calculate the heat pump coe$cient of performance (COP), seasonal heating performance, the fraction of annual load meet by free energy, storage and collector e$ciencies and total energy consumption of the systems during the heating season.
