Summary

In 1994 a space heating ammonia heat pump was installed in a residence in Trondheim, Norway. During the first two heating seasons the heat pump was stopped at ambient temperatures below -8 deg C in order to keep the gas compression temperature at an acceptable level. The installation of a water-cooled cylinder top on the compressor now enables the heat pump to be operated down to -14 deg C ambient temperature, and the maximum exhaust gas temperature has been lowered from 135 to 70 deg C.
