In this study, we designed a multifunctional heat pump system using just one scroll compressor and which can be run in four different modes, namely air to air, air to water, water to water and water to air, in order to make an experimental energetic and exergetic performance comparison....

A heat pump system is the ideal way to extend the heat supply of existing oil or gas fired heating system. Consumption costs are lowered through the use of free energy from the environment, and the dependence on fossils fuels simultaneously reduces. In order to investigate the performance of the...
