A mathematical model to simulate the steady- and dynamic-state behaviour of an existing water-to-water electric-motor driven heat-pump has been evolved. The condenser area on the working fluid side has been divided into two sections: namely, condensing section and sub-cooling section, while the...

The design sequence of a heat pump is described. Various design aspects of a heat pump are discussed with reference to individual components of the system. Some of the common refrigerants have been theoretically analysed for their suitability as heat pump working fluids. Rankine coefficients of...
