Optimizing the power consumption in a heat pump.

Author(s) : HAMMAD M., ABU-GHARBIA N.

Summary

A mathematical model was developed to simulate a heat pump (microcomputer programme using "FORTRAN"). The results were compared with experimental ones with a good accuracy. Variables studied are condensing temperature, evaporating temperature, air inlet temperature, and water flow rate. The power consumption of the compressor, the COP, and air temperature difference were calculated. An optimization study depending on the results was carried out and illustrated in the conclusion.
