Basics: Pressure

P = F/A [N/m²] = Pascal [Pa]

1 bar = 100 000 Pa

1 mbar = 100 Pa

Normal simplified1 bar

In a closed system the pressure is identical!

(Pascal Law)



Overpressure – Manometer

Overpressure = absolute pressure –1Absolute pressure = overpressure +1



Manometer

Low pressure manometer

p0 / t0

High pressure manometer

pc / tc



Electronic Manometer

More expensive; in fact the same measurement



Basics: Temperatur

Heat is a measure of agitation of the molecules

0 °C - melting point of water

100 °C - boil temperature

Temperature differences are always in [K] !!

e.g.

Outside temperature : -10 °C

Inside temperature : +21 °C

Δt = 31 K

Refrigerant Circuit

Temperature of condensation and evaporation by measuring

the pressure with the manometer



Heat Exchanger

Q = A x U x Tm



Performance stream

Heat Exchanger:

Heat output from the medium with higher temperature = heat input from the medium with lower temperature.

Machine:Power input = power output

Energy variety are equivalent;

like electrical and thermal energy.

Balance – Range



Balance

Performance e – it depends on the output and can be apply for selected data e.g (B0/W35)

e = QWP / PWP

Coefficient of performance CoP – consider the additionally power (like Pumps, Defrosting, controller)

CoP = QWP / (PWP + PV + PK + PSR + PA)

Seasonal performance factor = (QWP – QSPA) / (WWP + WPV + WPK + WSR + WA + WC)

QWP = Heat output heat pump

PWP = Compressor power input

PV = Power input part to overcome the pressure drop in the evaporator

PK = Power input part to overcome the pressure drop in the condenser

PSR = Power input part for control

PA = Power input (middle) part for defrosting

COP - Coefficient of Performance

CoP (Coefficient of Performance) = Heat Output / Electrical Energy*

1 High lift - Low CoP2 Low lift - High CoPE=B/AThe CoP depends on the temperature

lift!Norm-conditions for providing COP-

values Air/Water HP: A2W35 Brine/Water HP: B0W35 Water/Water HP: W10W35

Be careful when comparing CoP-Values!

*) Electrical Energy:- For the compressor motor- For the transport of the heat transfer mediums in the heat

pump (heat source and heating circuit)- For the the control
