Question

Heat Pump

5c. A heat pump is used to heat a house in the winter and cool it in the summer. The loads are 5000W in the winter with a house temperature of 20º C and 4000W in the summer with a house temperature of 25º C. Determine the minimum electric power in both cases if the year-round temperature three meters below the ground is 10º C below the ambient temperature. State all assumptions made. (2 marks)

    A heat pump is used to heat a house and maintain it at 24°C. On a winter day when the outdoor air temperature is -5°C (negative value), the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h. Determine the minimum power required to operate this heat pump if heat is extracted from (a) the outdoor air at -4 oC and (b) the well water at 12C.

    On a cold winter day where the outside temperature is -10o C, a heat pump provides 20 kW to heat a house to 20o C. The heat pump has a COPHP of 4 at the maximum power. The next day a storm brings the outside temperature down to −15o C. If the ratio of COPHP and the reversible COPrev for day 1 and day 2 is the same, COPHP for both days is the same, and that the house loses...
