In this paper, the suitability of using seawater source heat pump in a seaside refrigeration station in Qingdao was evaluated. A systematic evaluation was made on the conventional chiller with cooling tower system, the conventional chiller with titanium plate heat exchanger system and the seawater source heat pump system, including energy saving evaluation, economic evaluation (initial investment cost and operating cost) and environmental evaluation. The evaluation results showed that the initial investment cost was slightly increased, the operating cost was low, the cop value was high and the impact on the marine environment was small when the seawater source heat pump system was directly used.
