ENGINE-DRIVEN HEAT PUMP PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS.

Author(s) : FISCHER R. D., JAKOB F. E., FRENCH C. E.

Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS PERFORMANCE AND COST INFORMATION TO ASSIST DESIGNERS IN EVALUATING THE SELECTION OF HVAC COMPONENTS, SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS, VALUES FOR COMPONENT DESIGN VARIABLES AND OPERATING STRATEGIES FOR NATURAL GAS ENGINE DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS. A MODEL FOR SIMULATION OF ENGINE-DRIVEN AND ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS WAS PREPARED. PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS SHOWED THE EFFECT OF VARIABLES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DESIGN OF RECUPERATORS, ENGINE COOLANT COILS, DOMESTIC HOT WATER HEAT EXCHANGERS, COMPRESSOR SIZE, ENGINE EFFICIENCY, AND INSULATION LEVELS ON ENGINE EXHAUST AND COOLANT PIPING. SIMILAR DATA WERE PREPARED FOR AN ADVANCED VARIABLE-SPEED ELECTRIC UNIT FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. THE EFFECT OF DOMESTIC HOT WATER PRODUCTION ON OPERATING COSTS WAS DETERMINED AND 4 FAN OPERATING STRATEGIES WERE EXPLORED.
