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

Author(s) : PRIDE R. D., RANDALL S. I., MIRIAM J. M.

Summary

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