A contribution to heat pump design by simulation.

Author(s) : CONDE M. R.

Type of monograph: Doctoral thesis

Summary

The aim of this study was the simulation of various heat pump configurations, and of various heat transfer fluids for source and sink. The configuration detailed in the book is an air-to-water heat pump with a hermetic reciprocating compressor, a coiled-coaxial condenser, a thermostatic expansion valve and a plate finned-tube coil evaporator. An experimental test rig has been built to produce data for the verification of the simulation program. The results of this verification are discussed in detail. Studies of the effects of variation over large ranges of individual variables are also reported and discussed.
