La pompe à chaleur : déterminer, installer, entretenir.
Author(s) : BERNIER J.
Type of monograph: Book
Summary
Heat pumps are coming back onto the market, in particular in their "reversible" version ensuring comfort in summer and in winter alike. After a rapid review of the thermodynamic rules and calculation of the thermal requirements of a house, the author analyses in detail the operation principles of all types of heat pumps, their characteristics and performance. Extract of the table of contents: general information (losses and thermal requirements; humid air; regulations; definition and history; the heat pump; COP; environmental aspects); technology (compressors, condensers, evaporators, expanders, subsidiary refrigerating machines; refrigerants; auxiliaries; temperature controllers; power control); choosing a system according to the sources (cold and hot sources; choosing the cold source; choosing a heat pump system according to its impact on the greenhouse effect); systems for individual houses (exhaust air heat pumps, outdoor air heat pumps, exhaust air-to-water heat pumps, outdoor air-to-water heat pumps, water-to-water heat pumps; glycolated water-to-water heat pumps with buried collectors; ground source heat pumps or ground source-to-water heat pumps with buried collectors, direct expansion heat pumps, thermodynamic water heaters); study of the installation (calculating the thermal losses of a new house; estimating the thermal losses of an existing house; sizing the heat pump system; calculating consumption; sizing a floor heating and cooling system; acoustics); implementing the installation (cold source; heat source; water heater; controls at the end of the installation and commissioning); guarantee, controls and maintenance (special tools; quality and certification; criteria for correct operation; operational diagnosis of an installation; failures, diagnosis and solutions).
