Multi-mode off-peak storage heat pump
A multi-mode off-peak storage heat pump system is described for a building comprising (a) ducts for conveying air within and between the inside and outside of the building; (b) a single selectively operable lower in the ducts for circulating air therethrough; (c) damper means in the ducts having selective settings for directing the air within and between the inside and outside of the building; (d) selectively operable dual coil means in the ducts having refrigerant condensing and brine air-cooling loops; (e) a selectively operable unidirectional refrigerant circuit comprising (i) a compressor for directing gaseous refrigerant to the refrigerant loop to be air-cooled and condensed; (ii) a heat exchanger-evaporator in which the condensed refrigerant from the refrigerant loop is evaporated to gas; and (f) a selectively operable brine circuit.
