Résumé

Performance of available air-source heat pumps (ASHP) for buildings is extremely influenced by the outdoor air temperature (OAT). When OAT falls below –20 °C, especially in subarctic climate, most commercially available ASHPs lose their defined functionality. To address this issue, a novel cascade heat pump (CHP) is proposed that utilizes two natural (with zero global warming index) refrigerants: ammonia, aka R717, as the low stage (LS) refrigerant, and water, aka R718, as the high stage (HS) working fluid. The proposed system is equipped with two rotary vane compressors for LS and HS. To desuperheat the compressor discharge temperatures and increase the HS heating capacity, liquid refrigerant is injected into the chamber of both LS and HS compressors. The wet compression is thermodynamically modeled and validated against experimental data available in the literature. Optimum design parameters such as the maximum allowable temperatures during compression and the minimum vapor quality after injection are obtained where the COP is maximized. Total exergy destruction, number/location of injectors and the injected amounts are also investigated. The proposed CHP can deliver 6.35 kW heating load at 50 °C with a COP of 1.985 when OAT is –40 °C. From a broader perspective, the proposed CHP not only proves its efficacy in extremely cold subarctic climates but also emerges as a pivotal player in addressing the global warming issue. This is accomplished through a dual approach to decarbonization—firstly, by electrifying heating processes and secondly, by substituting phased-out refrigerants with environmentally friendly natural alternatives.
