FIELD PERFORMANCE OF A DOMESTIC HOT WATER HEAT PUMP SYSTEM.

Author(s) : CARRINGTON C. G.

Summary

THE USE OF SMALL ELECTRIC AIR-WATER HEAT PUMPS FOR HOT WATER SUPPLY IS VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR NEW ZEALAND. IN 1980, TEN HEAT PUMPS WERE INSTALLED IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES AND SIX OF THEM WERE MONITORED. THE MEASURED PERFORMANCE FACTOR WAS 2.2 WITH A MEAN ANNUAL TEMPERATURE OF 284 K (11 DEG C) FOR AIR AND 329-330 K (56-57 DEG C) FOR WATER. THIS SYSTEM PROVIDES A GOOD CONTROL OF WATER TEMPERATURE AND GIVES A RAPID REHEATING TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE. IT IS MORE SUITABLE FOR HIGH THAN FOR LOW LEVEL CONSUMERS.
