Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES A CONFIGURATION OF ARANKINE CYCLE ENGINE-DRIVEN HEAT PUMP, AND INCLUDES A THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF ITS PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS. THE SYSTEM EMPLOYS A RANKINE POWER CYCLE, USING R113 AS THE WORKING FLUID, COUPLED TO A VAPOUR COMPRESSION CYCLE HEAT PUMP USING R22. A NOVEL FEATURE OF THE CONCEPT IS THE USE OF HYDRAULICALLY CONNECTED ROLLING DIAPHRAGM PISTON-CYLINDER DEVICES AS MOTOR, COMPRESSOR AND PUMP. HEATING AND COOLING COPS OF 2.01 AND 1.06 RESPECTIVELY ARE PREDICTED, MAKING THE SYSTEM POTENTIALLY ATTRACTIVE WHERE BOTH HEATING AND COOLING ARE REQUIRED.
