ABSTRACT:
The Annual Cycle Energy System (ACES) is a system that provides domestic hot water heating, space heating and space cooling for buildings. This system uses a unidirectional heat pump and a large water/ice storage tank to make ice during the heating season that is used to cool the building during the summer. The ACES uses a concrete water/ice storage tank for thermal storage and glazed solar collectors to provide supplemental heating to the water/ice tank. The use of these concrete tanks and glazed solar collectors result in an initial cost that is too high to be recovered by fuel savings over a reasonable payback period. The improvements of this invention provide for low cost water/ice storage tanks and an adjustable geothermal heat pipe that provides supplemental heating to the water/ice storage tank replacing the solar collectors. The heat is provided by the deep earth and the water table.
