Field Testing of Pre-Production Prototype Residential Heat Pump Water Heaters
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The purpose of this Technology Installation Review is to provide an overview of the field testing of 18 pre-production prototype units of a “drop-in” type residential heat pump water heater installed in a wide variety of host home situations across the United States for more than one year. It provides descriptions of the construction, installation, control, instrumentation, and data acquisition methodologies employed with the units, as well as interpretations of the measured results.
