Question
Refrigerant as a work fluid to keep an environment at 25 ° C.
A heat pump using 134a is used. The heat pump keeps heat entering the evaporator at a temperature of 50 ° C.
and 2,718 kW of heat from the geothermal water that comes out of the evaporator at 40 ° C. Cooler
fluid enters the evaporator at 15% dryness at 20 ° C and saturated at the same pressure
comes out as steam. Since the compressor consumes 1.2 kW of power;
a-) Mass flow rate of the refrigerant,
b-) The heat provided for heating purposes per unit time,
c-) COP value of the heat pump,
d-) Find the minimum power required for the compressor in case of providing the same amount of heat.
