Abstract :
This paper contains illustrations of the essential load characteristics of three types of residential heat-pump systems and their relationships to the load characteristics of the present-day full-use residential load and of the cooling load of the average home. It develops relative cost to serve the several types of heat-pump load and of the cooling load, and indicates the economic interrelationship of these loads.
