Abstract: In order to improve the heating capacity and efficiency of the existing central heating system and thus re- lieve the growing pressure on the heating system in winter,two schemes of adding new heating and adopting heat pumps are designed based on an existing co-generation central heating system.Then,the COP,the exergy efficien- cy and the payback period are used to evaluate the two schemes.The results show that,when the new heating is added,the central heating system achieves a COP of 0. 98,which is almost equal to that of the existing system,and an exergy efficiency of 28. 39%,which is decreased by 39. 15%,as well as a dynamic payback period of 7. 98 years,and that,when the heat pumps are adopted,the COP and the exergy efficiency of the central heating system are respectively 1. 34 and 62. 69%,which are respectively 35. 4% and 34. 36% higher than those of the existing system,and the dynamic payback period is 5. 73 years.In addition,the system adopting the heat pumps is of a good economic adaptability.

Key words: co-generation, central heating system, heat pump, exergy efficiency
