Laboratory experiments of heat pump dynamic losses
Abstract
Air-source heat pump experiments at ORNL: (1) provide detailed system and component performance data usable in understanding dynamic loss phenomena, and (2) enable formulation and evaluation of methods that could reduce dynamic losses. Results presented herein are from a series of laboratory experiments performed at ORNL aimed at providing detailed characterization steady-state performance data. Continuous modulation heat pump experiments to observe dynamic loss trends under part-load heat pump operation will follow.
