Abstract
With regard to heat pumps with uncovered solar collectors as the only heat absorbers, very high temperatures (> 50 deg. centigrade) can arise in the latter during the summer. Other problems are constructional damage when the solar collector is integrated in a building, heat pump dropout in the event of snow drifting, icing or too high temperatures, lower capacity, reduced operational economy, and leakages (especially where alcohol is used as an antifreeze medium) followed by necessary operational closedowns. It should be noted that building regulations demand that there must be no risk of fire or explosions related to heat pump installations. In order to document these problems, questionnaires were sent out and system measurements were taken. The results are presented in detail. System measurements showed that the heat pump`s compressor can be safeguarded from exposure to evaporation temperatures of over 10 deg. centigrade, whilst the flow temperature from the condenser is approximately 54 deg. centigrade, by the use of a thermostatic expansion valve with limited opening possibilities located in the refrigerating circuit. It is recommended that solar collectors used in relation to heat pumps should only be utilized in connection with ground coils, and only if there is sufficient ``ground
