Simulation and Experimental Research on Screw Ground Source Heat Pump Unit

Abstract:

A grey box model of screw ground source heat pump unit has been established and operating characteristics of the unit using R22 refrigerants were simulated. The effects on refrigerating capacity, heating capacity, power consumption of the compressor and COP on conditions of cooling and heating have been analyzed with different inlet water temperature of evaporator and inlet water temperature of condenser. Results show that main factor which affecting COP of heat pump unit is inlet water temperature of condenser. The change of refrigerating capacity and heating capacity are mainly caused by inlet water temperature of evaporator. Measures can be done to decrease the inlet water temperature of condenser when the unit operates for a long time and to increase inlet water temperature of evaporator on very hot or very cold conditions.
