Heat pumps in the FRG
Abstract This report gives a brief survey of the development of heat pumps in the FRG. The description focusses on the market development during the last five years. The report is deliberately concise with respect to the engineering side. In this regard, as well as presenting comparisons with other heating systems, this Paper refers to the report of the ‘WEC ad hoc committee on combined heat and power and heat pumps’ presented in 1981. Although future trends have been outlined, these are not sufficiently reliable as to take this outlook to be a forecast.
