Abstract

In the context of global warming and the energy crisis, Lake Water Heat Pumps (LWHP) show significant advantages in sustainable energy but raise concerns about thermal pollution affecting aquatic ecosystems and system efficiency. This study uses China's Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water to establish thermal balance through the water surface temperature method. It examines LWHP discharge impacts on lake water temperature and defines a thermal pollution rate based on the lake's thermal load capacity. Using the Nanjing LWHP project as a case study, lake water temperature was measured, and thermal load capacity was analyzed to calculate thermal pollution rates for the coldest and hottest weeks. Results show a vertical temperature gradient in the lake affects refrigerant cooling efficiency and COP variation. The thermal load capacity of the lake is higher in winter than in summer. During the hottest week, the maximum thermal pollution rate for the Nanjing LWHP system is 0.58, and during the coldest week, it is 0.38, neither causing thermal pollution. This study is significant for the rational use of LWHP systems, aquatic ecosystem protection, and sustainable energy technology advancement.
湖泊水源热泵放热对环境影响的定量评价
在全球气候变暖和能源危机的背景下,湖水热泵在可持续能源方面具有显著优势,但也引起了人们对热污染影响水生生态系统和系统效率的担忧。本研究采用中国地表水环境质量标准,通过水面温度法建立热平衡。研究了水电厂排放对湖泊水温的影响,并根据湖泊的热负荷能力确定了热污染率。以南京水电厂为例,通过测量湖水温度,分析热负荷,计算最冷周和最热周的热污染率。结果表明,湖泊垂直温度梯度影响制冷剂冷却效率和COP变化。湖泊的热负荷能力冬季高于夏季。在最热周,南京LWHP系统最大热污染率为0.58,在最冷周,最大热污染率为0.38,两者均不产生热污染。该研究对合理利用水源地、保护水生生态系统、推进可持续能源技术具有重要意义。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling. As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews. Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
