Summary

THE PAPER REPORTS THE APPLICATION OF THERMOECONOMICS TO THE OPTIMIZATION OF A HEAT PUMP. THE METHOD IS SUITED FOR APPLICATION TO THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES AND YIELDS EXERGY LOSSES. THE MARGINAL COST OF AN ARBITRARY VARIABLE CAN ALSO BE CALCULATED. THE EFFICIENCIES OF THE COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER, EVAPORATOR AND ELECTRIC MOTOR ARE CHOSEN AS VARIABLES TO BE OPTIMIZED. PARAMETERS SUCH AS THE PRICE OF ELECTRICITY AND THE TEMPERATURE OF THE DELIVERED HEAT MAY VARY BETWEEN OPTIMIZATIONS, AND RESULTS ARE PRESENTED FOR DIFFERENT PARAMETER VALUES. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ELECTRIC MOTOR IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VARIABLE.
