Improving performance of an existing heat pump: a case study.

Number: pap. 2114

Summary

This paper presents the findings of a case study in which System Design Simulator, a steady-state system simulation software was used to evaluate design options rather than implementing the various changes incrementally in a laboratory and evaluating the results of each change. System modeling software has proven to significantly reduce development time and cost by limiting the need for expensive and time-consuming laboratory testing. In this investigation we used a nominal fixed capacity 5-ton, 14 SEER Heat Pump using Refrigerant R-410a and identified opportunities that were relatively easy to implement.
