Abstract
This report describes the development of and experience with two prototype Expert Systems for the application of heat exchangers and compression cycle heat pumps in energy conversation. The expert system for heat exchangers is based on a comprehensive selection procedure for the application of heat exchangers in energy systems. In order to select a heat exchanger, the engineer must give typical characteristics such as pressure and temperature levels, flows, capacity, type of fluids and application constraints. This and other information allows the systems to identify the most suitable type of heat exchangers from about 40 different forms of design, for example, plate, shell and tube etc. The expert system for compression cycle heat pumps is based on heat demand and energy consumption of buildings and a conceptual design of an energy system. The fundamental part of the conceptual design process is the selection of subsystems and selection and/or addition of an energy saving system. A powerful tool to assist in the selection of a system is a rating strategy which evaluates the comparitive performance of various systems under given specifications. A system under consideration will have different operating and maintenance costs and will also have characteristics which will distinguish it

A comparison will be made between the basic alternative and a heating system in which a compression cycle heat pump can be integrated in a technical and economic way. The expert system is constructed in such a way that the engineer can ignore the heat pump if he does not want to install a compression cycle heat pump. 2 refs.; 6 tabs.}
