FROSTING EXPERIMENTS FOR A HEAT PUMP HAVING A ONE-ROW SPINE-FIN OUTDOOR COIL.

Author(s) : MILLER W. A.

Summary

A HIGH-EFFICIENCY, AIR-TO-AIR, SPLIT-SYSTEM RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMP OF NOMINAL 10.5 KILOW CAPACITY WAS TESTED IN THE HEATING MODE UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS. THE COP AND HEATING CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEMWERE MEASURED DURING STEADY STATE, DEHUMIDIFYING, AND FROSTING/DEFROSTING CONDITIONS. THE STUDY ENCOMPASSED AN EVALUATION OF SYSTEM PERFORMANCE FOR TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 281 AND 265 K (8 AND -8 DEG C) AND FOR DISCRETE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS RANGING FROM 50 TO 90%. SEASONAL ANALYSES WERE CONDUCTED FOR DETERMINATION OF THE MAGNITUDE OF FROSTING LOSSES AND DEFROSTING LOSSES FOR HEAT PUMPS HAVING A ONE-ROW SPINE-FIN OUTDOOR HEAT EXCHANGER.
