Summary

This article is the Spanish translation of an article presented at the 12th International Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Conference, Purdue University, USA (see the Bulletin of the IIR, reference 2009-1779). HSPF (heating seasonal performance factor) is an important coefficient that characterizes the seasonal performance of heat pumps for heating; and it does not take into account the production of domestic hot water. As such, it is also possible to calculate a performance factor that characterizes the annual performance of the heat pump for domestic hot water production. The aim of this study is to calculate this factor for an air to water heat pump in different climate zones in France. For this, the system consisting of the heat pump and the storage water tank has been modelled and the calculation has been carried out on a simulation tool. The simulation has been realized over a year with hourly outdoor air temperature data. Furthermore, the hot water requirements vary; so different domestic hot water tapping cycles have been studied.
