Type of article: Article

Summary

AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN CONDUCTED OF A COMPRESSOR ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH ITS PERFORMANCE COULD BE IMPROVED FOR USE IN DOMESTIC HEAT PUMPS. THE COMPRESSOR WAS A HERMETIC UNIT OF NOMINAL CAPACITY 15.6 CM3. THE APPLICATION SELECTED WAS FOR HEATING ONLY, AIR TO AIR HEAT PUMPS. IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED IN BOTH COP (13%) AND HEAT OUTPUT (7%), AS WELL AS IN ANCILLARY MATTERS SUCH AS LUBRICATION, NOISE AND POWER FACTOR. (INT. BUILD. SERV.
