This study evaluated the heating performance of a hybrid heat pump system. The system was installed in a $100-m^2$ greenhouse to utilize surplus solar energy. A hybrid heat pump system was installed at Jocheon-ri, Jeju Island, for an empirical evaluation of the performance. The system consists of a heat storage tank and plate heat exchangers for several heat exchanges between the greenhouse and heat pump or storage tank. The system uses R410a as the working fluid and is controlled automatically by a defined set temperature of the greenhouse. This system incorporates two kinds of heat sources: outdoor air and a storage tank that collects heat from the topside of the greenhouse. The results showed that the heating capacity was 19.9 kW in the outdoor air source mode and 21.4 kW with direct heating from hot water in the thermal storage tank. These results are very similar to those of a previous study.

This paper describes the characteristics of scroll type stirling engine receiver. Scroll type stirling engine operated scroll compressor and expander instead of piston. Pass dimension of the receiver was $14(W){\times}14(H)$ mm and total pass length was 5,049 mm. External dimension of the receiver was $300{\times}300mm$. The experimental facility consisted of parabolic dish concentrator, compressor to supply air, triplex air filter, and flowmeter. In this study, basic experimental conditions were set at a inlet pressure of 5 bar and volume flow rate of $25m^3/hr$. As a result, air temperature in receiver at each measuring position of point 1, 2, 3 were $241^{\circ}C$, $465^{\circ}C$, and $542^{\circ}C$ respectively at inlet pressure of 5.5 bar and volume flow rate of $24.6m^3/hr$. As DNI increasing, heat transfer coefficient of the receiver changed from $695W/m^2K$ to $827W/m^2K$. Average heat transfer coefficient of receiver in the experiment was $798W/m^2K$. In addition, receiver efficiency became about 83%.
