THERMODYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF HIGH LIFT ABSORPTION HEAT PUMPS.

Author(s) : PRIDE R. D.

Summary

STATES THAT THE MAIN TECHNICAL TARGET FOR THE GAS FIRED HEAT PUMP IN THE UNITED KINGDOM IS TO SUPPLY WATER AT FLOW TEMPERATURES UP TO 354 K (81 DEG C) FOR EXISTING RADIATOR SYSTEMS AND DOMESTIC HOT WATER. THESE HIGH FLOW TEMPERATURES ARE OFTEN REQUIRED WHEN AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURES ARE AT THEIR MINIMUM. THIS LARGE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE REPRESENTS A VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE LIFT REQUIREMENT FOR ABSORPTION HETUS EXAMINES HOW THIS MIGHT BE ACHIEVED, EITHER BY SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE WORKING FLUIDS OR BY EMPLOYING SOME OF THE MORE COMPLEX CYCLE CONFIGURATIONS.
