Abstract
In order to investigate the practicability of using heat pumps for year-round residential heating and cooling in the Philadelphia area, two experimental installations were operated for 2 years, using earth as a heat source. This paper describes the installations, presents essential performance data, and concludes that the satisfactory performance experienced may be bettered by specific technical improvements.
