Different Heat Pump Circuits

This value allows an easy comparison between different heat pumps.

Different heat pump circuits. Most take the heat from outside the home and move it indoors see figure 13 11. A heat pump is a mechanical system that allows for the transmission of heat from one location the source at a lower temperature to another location the sink or heat sink at a higher temperature. Know the different types of heat pump units and system arrangements for hydraulic emitter circuits. The heat pump can take the heat generated by a refrigeration unit and use it to heat a house or room.

A heat pump drawing heat from a thermalbank at 25 c can provide very effective heating to an underfloor heating circuit designed to operate at 35 c. A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy from a source of heat to what is called a thermal reservoir heat pumps move thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one a heat pump uses external power to accomplish the work of transferring energy from the heat source to the heat sink. The cop is directly dependent on the temperature of the heat source and the heating temperature in the building. Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

The larger the cop the more effective. Therefore the cop changes at each operating point of the heat pump. The ratio of heat capacity and the required drive power. Know the purpose and operational characteristics of heat pump unit and heat pump system components.
