Air-, ground- and dual-source heat pumps: a comparison between energy-efficient systems for a Swedish dwelling [PDF]
Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) and ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are the most spread heat pumps nowadays. However, they suffer from drawbacks that could be mostly overcome coupling the two heat sources, i.e., using dual-source heat pumps (DSHPs).
