Type of article: Article

Summary

DESCRIBES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMULATION MODEL FOR STUDYING THE PERFORMANCE OF VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE HEAT PUMPS RELATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL CONSTANT SPEED HEAT PUMPS. PRESENTS REPRESENTATIVE RESULTS FOR A VARIABLE SPEED HEAT PUMP. RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE VARIABLE SPEED UNIT REQUIRES SOME 6-10% LESS ELECTRICAL ENERGY THAN A COMPARABLE CONSTANT SPEED UNIT OPERATING IN THE HEATING MODE. THE RESULTS DO NOT PENALIZE THE CONVENTIONAL UNIT FOR CYCLING LOSSES, WHICH CAN BE SIGNIFICANT. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 23, N 1, 1988, 7, 88-00058.
