Type of article: Article

Summary

Describes an expression for the PLF of a heat pump operating in the cooling mode developed on the basis of a series of experimental tests conducted according to the standard US heat pump test procedures. Gives details of the tests. States the PLF evaluated from the expression compared well with the PLFs from the experimental tests. Concludes by comparing the seasonal COPs from evaluating the PLF from the developed expression and the ASHRAE/DOE test procedure.
