Résumé

The frosting process on the surface of the fin-and-tube evaporator and the dynamic performance of an air source heat pump (ASHP) adopting R-410A refrigerant were investigated experimentally. The frost thickness was measured by using micro-photography, and the frost accumulation mass was estimated in terms of the difference in measured humidity before and after the test evaporator. The experimental results indicate that the frost layer thickness increases in a manner of the stepwise pattern as quickly increasing, slowly increasing (or not increasing) and rapidly increasing during the frost formation process. Corresponding to the rapid increasing of the frost thickness, the performance of the ASHP unit deteriorates in the third stage. It is suggested that the vicious spiral formed by the interaction between the frost growth and the drops in the wall temperature and the air flow rate mainly causes the rapid performance deterioration in the third stage. In the meantime, it is found that the performance of the ASHP system, the frost growth rate and the duration of the frost-growth cycle are strongly affected by outdoor air relative humidity under frosting conditions.
