Analysis of Heating Systems in the Coal-to-Electric Power Process in Hebei Province, China Huang Hailong ,Luan Xiaotian

Abstract

Smog has become the most serious climate problem in North China in recent years. Coal burning has been found as the key factor to generate smog. Hebei province has started to stop coal burning in winter, however, there should be an efficient warming way for the millions of people in the cold North China. Heat pump is a high energy-saving technique and could be a good solution for Hebei warming. This paper compared different heating systems, and the result shows that heat pumps can bring the obvious energy-saving as well as the smog-reducing.
