Résumé

This study investigates the long-term thermodynamic performance of a direct-expansion solar-assisted (DX-SAHP) system for hot water production in an average Canadian household. Performance is evaluated using realistic time-varying demand profiles and DX-SAHP with and without glazing under cold climatic conditions. A mathematical model for determining the system's long-term thermodynamic performance based on the first law of thermodynamics and heat transfer fundamentals is developed and thoroughly validated. The solution is implemented in MATLAB®. The CoolProp® database is coupled with MATLAB® and used to determine the working fluid's thermal physical properties. Besides, the thermodynamic performance of the DX-SAHP throughout the year, operating with low global warming potential (GWP) and class A safety refrigerants, was evaluated. Moreover, the influence of solar irradiation and ambient air temperature on the DX-SAHP's thermodynamic performance is studied. Results indicate that the monthly average coefficient of performance (COP) varies between 2.5 and 3.8, while the monthly average energy consumption of the system varies between 170 and 275 kWh. The obtained figures for COP and power consumption demonstrate the high-efficiency potential of the DX-SAHP system, making it an attractive alternative to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions in residential water heating. In addition, results show that R1233zd gives the highest COPs, followed by R152a, R1234ze, R134a, R1234yf and R32. Besides, the long-term simulation results indicate that the DX-SAHP water heater without glazing has superior thermal performance compared to one with glazing. Also, results show that the COP rises as the ambient temperature or solar radiation level increases.
