Abstract
In this paper, a transient analysis is performed in order to evaluate how effective climate data affect the determination of the seasonal coefficient of performance of ASHPs. Three Italian cities, characterized by different climates, are considered as reference case studies and the influence of real meteorological data, collected from different years, on the heat pump SCOP is performed. The analysis is carried out by employing the dynamic software TRNSYS. Numerical results show small variations in SCOP, while a significant influence on annual thermal energy demand can be observed. The analysis also underlines the absence of a general correlation between annual thermal energy supplied by the heat pump and SCOP and between HDD and SCOP.
