Operation Parameters Variation of Air Source Heat Pump According to the Outdoor Temperature

Abstract

Air source heat pumps (ASHP), known as energy efficient systems, emerge as environmentally friendly and economical solutions for building heating. Unfortunately, the operating parameters of ASHPs and accordingly their performance are directly affected by the daily and seasonal temperature changes of the outside air. In this study, change in operation parameters of a selected ASHP with 3.4kW nominal heating capacity is investigated with a calculation method based on the logarithmic mean temperature difference, between -10°C to 18°C outdoor temperature range with 2°C steps, at constant compressor power. The study is verified with published COP data of the manufacturer. Results are shared with graphs that give the variation of refrigerant evaporation and condensation temperature and pressure, COP, and condenser heating load according to outdoor air temperature. A raise from -10°C to 18°C in outdoor temperature, increases the COP value from 3.38 to 5.49. Detection of the increase in evaporation pressure in parallel with the outdoor temperature may allow easy control of the refrigerant charge level with a manometer. This study can be a useful guide for researchers who aim to determine the outdoor temperature dependent operating parameters of an ASHP and for technical personnel who need this information in fields.
