RECOMMENDED TEST PROCEDURES FOR RATING THE PERFORMANCE OF GAS-ENGINE-DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS.

Summary

ALTOGETHER, 17 PERFORMANCE TEST POINTS ARE DESCRIBED WHICH WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO MEASURE THE STEADY-STATE AND CYCLIC HEATING AND COOLING PERFORMANCE OF A VARIABLE-CAPACITY ENGINE-DRIVEN HEAT PUMP OPERATING OVER A WIDE RANGE OF OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURES. THE DATA ANALYSIS PROCEDURES AND EQUATIONS WILL ALLOW THE PERFORMANCE TEST DATA FOR A GIVEN ENGINE HEAT PUMP TO BE USED TO PERFORM A BIN ANALYSIS FOR A SELECTED CLIMATE AND BUILDING LOAD. THE FINAL CALCULATED RESULTS WILL INDICATE THE EXPECTED SEASONAL COP FOR BOTH HEATING AND COOLING, AS WELL AS THE SEASONAL AND ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS.
