Heat Pimps

The document discusses heat pumps and exergy analysis of heat pump systems. It describes the basic components and layout of heat pumps, including the refrigeration cycle with condenser, compressor, capillary and evaporator. Experimental results are presented on the operating conditions, exergy destruction rates, product vs fuel ratios, and performance metrics like COP for different heat pump designs and as functions of delivery temperature. Ways to improve efficiency through efficient condensers, compressors, turboexpanders and by optimizing against the dead state are explored.
