Air Source Heat Pump Description and Operation: A heat pump is classified according to the source from which it extracts heat‚ i.e. the low temperature heat source. One that collects and utilises thermal energy from the outside air to heat the home and provide domestic hot water is called an air source heat pump. In an air source heat pump‚ outdoor air is drawn into the heat exchanger‚ which contains coils filled with a pressurised refrigerant gas. The refrigerant gas referred to here is

Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Systems Clinton Ward COM155 February 17‚ 2013 Joyce Keeling Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Systems Air conditioners and heat pump systems are used by most people in the world today. They are used to cool in the summer time and to heat in the winter time. These machines are bought and used when most people do not even understand the principle on which they work. The machines are expected do what they are designed to do‚ and when they cease to do this‚ they can

Heat Pump ------------------------------------------------- A heat pump can provide an alternative to using your air conditioner. * Heat pumps can supply heat‚ cooling‚ and hot water. * Your climate and site will determine the type of heat pump most appropriate for your home. For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs‚ heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator‚ heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a

Heat pump From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search For theoretical background‚ see Heat pump and refrigeration cycle. Outdoor components of a residential air-source heat pump A heat pump is a machine or device that transfers thermal energy from one location‚ called the "source‚" which is at a lower temperature‚ to another location called the "sink" or "heat sink"‚ which is at a higher temperature. Thus‚ heat pumps moves thermal energy opposite to the direction that

AUTOMATIC WATER PUMP CONTROLLER The automatic water pump controller is used to control the water pump motor. The motor gets automatically switched on when water in the overhead tank (OHT) falls below the lower limit. Similarly‚ it gets switched off when the tank is filled up. Built around only one NAND gate IC (CD4011)‚ the circuit is simple‚ compact and economical. It works off a 12V DC power supply and consumes very little power. The circuit can be divided into two parts: controller circuit and

SOLAR BOOSTED HEAT PUMP WATER HEATERS ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the solar boosted heat pump water heater technology. The tests made on direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps have shown that good COP can be attained while using working fluids that do not cause any harm to the environ ment. Modifications to the condenser in the heat pump can be made in order to improve and distribute evenly the heat transferred to the water. NOMENCLATURE HPWH – Heat Pump Water Heater SBHPWH

Water Pump Challenge With water pump technology being a major factor for the survival of some villages‚ it is important that they are handled with specific care in order to ensure its success and proper usage. The Full Belly Project’s water pump factory creates a way for Peace Corps Volunteers to help install these devices into communities in need. With this being said‚ there are certain details that have to be taken into account when implementing these water pump factories. The best way to
