ANALYTICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE TRANSIENT ENERGY INTERACTIONS IN VAPOUR COMPRESSION HEAT PUMPS.

Author(s) : MACARTHUR J. W.

Summary

A DETAILED MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF VAPOUR COMPRESSION HEAT PUMPS IS DESCRIBED. MODEL EQUATIONS OF THE VARIOUS HEAT PUMP COMPONENTS ARE GIVEN. A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE MODELLING TECHNIQUES IS PRESENTED. PRELIMINARY SIMULATION RESULTS ARE ALSO ILLUSTRATED. THE MODEL DEVELOPED PREDICTS THE SPATIAL VALUES OF TEMPERATURE AND ENTHALPY AS FUNCTIONS OF TIME FOR THE TWO HEAT EXCHANGERS. THE TEMPERATURES AND ENTHALPIES IN THE ACCUMULATOR, COMPRESSOR, AND EXPANSION DEVICE ARE MODELLED IN LUMPED-PARAMETER FASHION.
