A receiver, a receiver assembly and a heat pump system. The receiver includes a first pipe, a second pipe and a third pipe leading to the cavity of the receiver, wherein the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe connect to a first load unit, a second load unit and a cold and heat source unit, respectively.

The present disclosure relates to a heat pump system for transferring heat using a body of water. The heat pump system includes a water pumping system and a heating and cooling loop that directs a working fluid through a heat exchanger where heat is transferred between the working fluid and water from the body of water. The water pumping system includes an inlet line, an outlet line, and a pump. The pump moves the water from the body of water through the inlet line to the heat exchanger then through the outlet line and back to the body of water. A biocide generating device is positioned along the inlet line for providing real-time generation of biocide in the water flowing through the inlet line. A recirculation line directs water from a tap location on the inlet line positioned downstream from the biocide generating device to the water intake.

A combination domestic hot water and space heating system is disclosed. The system includes two refrigerant circuits, one dedicated to heating potable water in a water storage tank and one dedicated to heating a condenser used to heat a space within a building. A controller sends output signals to valves to vary refrigerant flow into the first refrigerant circuit and/or the second refrigerant circuit. The variation in refrigerant flow can be provided by a single multi-directional valve, one or more valves placed at a first end of each refrigerant circuit, and/or one or more electronic expansion valves placed at the end of each refrigerant circuit. Portions of the system can be placed into a single housing, thereby reducing installation costs and labor.

Provided is an air conditioning system. The air conditioning system includes a heat pump provided to heat or cool a circulating refrigerant, an air heating device provided to burn a fuel so as to heat circulating water so that air is heated by the heated water, and an intermediate heat exchanger provided to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the water.

A geothermal system exchanges heat between a target and ground which receives geogenic heat from below. Heat exchange tubing in a continuous loop within the ground receives a circulated heat exchange fluid. An insulating layer spans over the ground with a greater footprint than the continuous loop in the ground below. The insulating layer may cover an area of land of at least 400 square metres and may be formed of a synthetic heat insulating material such as recycled plastic materials so that the insulting layer has a total R factor of 30 or greater. A heat pump is operable to transfer heat from the heat exchange tubing to the target for extracting the geogenic heat from the ground for heating the target in cold seasons, and transfer heat from the target to the heat exchange tubing for storing excess heat from the target to the ground in warmer seasons.
