Author(s) : VOTSIS P.

Summary

THE PAPER INVESTIGATES THE DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMP DURING START-UP CONDITIONS. THE HEAT PUMP USED IS OF THE SPLIT TYPE AIR-TO-WATER DESIGN AND IS EQUIPPED WITH A HERMETIC RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR AND A THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE WITH MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE CHARACTERISTICS. THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT THE CYCLIC LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH REFRIGERANT MIGRATION ANDTHE EMPLOYMENT OF AN ACCUMULATOR REPRESENT A 5 AND 4% RESPECTIVE DECREASE IN THE COP WHEN COMPARED WITH THE CASE WHERE REFRIGERANT MIGRATION IS CONTROLLED.
