Retrofit of a standard split-type air conditioner into an air-to-water heat pump

EER and Refrigerating Capacity of Dual Split Type Air-Conditioner

There are two kinds of dual split type air-conditioner. One is of using two compressors for two indoor units; the other has only one compressor for two indoor units. The EER and refrigerating capacity of the former kind are just the same as the single split type's. But to one compressor dual split type system, there are two working ways: 1. compressor and both two indoor units operating, and 2....

Heat transfer enhancement due to air bubble injection into a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger

If an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. Air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. This mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. Howeve...

Benchmark Performance Analysis of an Ecm-modulated Air-to-air Heat Pump with a Reciprocating Compressor

A benchmark analysis was conducted to predict the maximum steady-state pet$onnance potential of a nearterm moduikting residential-size heat pump. Continuousiy variable-speed, permane nt-magnet electronically commutated motors (ECMs) were assumed to modulate the compressor and the indoor and outdoor fans in conjunction with existing modulating reciprocating compressor technology A modulating hea...
