11、at a higher temperature. According to this definition, all pieces of re-frigeration equipment, including air conditioners and chillers withrefrigeration cycles, are heat pumps. In engineering, however, theterm heat pump is generally reserved for equipment that heats forbeneficial purposes, rather th
12、an that which removes heat for coolingonly. Dual-mode heat pumps alternately provide heating or cooling.Heat reclaim heat pumps provide heating only, or simultaneousheating and cooling. An applied heat pump requires competent fieldengineering for the specific application, in contrast to the use of a
13、manufacturer-designed unitary product. Applied heat pumps in-clude built-up heat pumps (field- or custom-assembled from com-ponents) and industrial process heat pumps. Most modern heatpumps use a vapor compression (modified Rankine) cycle or ab-sorption cycle. Any of the other refrigeration cycles d
14、iscussed inChapter 2 of the 2009 ASHRAE HandbookFundamentals are alsosuitable. Although most heat pump compressors are powered byelectric motors, limited use is also made of engine and turbinedrives. Applied heat pumps are most commonly used for heatingand cooling buildings, but they are gaining pop
15、ularity for efficientdomestic and service water heating, pool heating, and industrialprocess heating.Applied heat pumps with capacities from 24,000 to150,000,000 Btu/h operate in many facilities. Some machines arecapable of output water temperatures up to 220F and steam pres-sures up to 60 psig.Comp
16、ressors in large systems vary from one or more reciprocat-ing or screw types to staged centrifugal types. A single or centralsystem is often used, but in some instances, multiple heat pump sys-tems are used to facilitate zoning. Heat sources include the ground,well water, surface water, gray water,
17、solar energy, the air, and inter-nal building heat. Compression can be single-stage or multistage.Frequently, heating and cooling are supplied simultaneously to sep-arate zones.Decentralized systems with water-loop heat pumps are common,using multiple water-source heat pumps connected to a commoncir
18、culating water loop. They can also include ground coupling, heatrejectors (cooling towers and dry coolers), supplementary heaters(boilers and steam heat exchangers), loop reclaim heat pumps, solarcollection devices, and thermal storage. The initial cost is relativelylow, and building reconfiguration
19、 and individual space temperaturecontrol are easy.Community and district heating and cooling systems can bebased on both centralized and distributed heat pump systems.

20、HVAC Systems and Equipment HEAT PUMP CYCLESSeveral types of applied heat pumps (both open- and closed-cycle) are available; some reverse their cycles to deliver bothheating and cooling in HVAC systems, and others are for heatingonly in HVAC and industrial process applications. The followingare the f
21、our basic types of heat pump cycles:Closed vapor compression cycle (Figure 1). This is the mostcommon type in both HVAC and industrial processes. It uses aconventional, separate refrigeration cycle that may be single-stage, compound, multistage, or cascade.Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) cycle
22、with heatexchanger (Figure 2). Process vapor is compressed to a temper-ature and pressure sufficient for reuse directly in a process.Energy consumption is minimal, because temperatures are opti-mum for the process. Typical applications include evaporators(concentrators) and distillation columns.Open
23、 vapor recompression cycle (Figure 3). A typical applica-tion is in an industrial plant with a series of steam pressure levelsand an excess of steam at a lower-than-desired pressure. Heat ispumped to a higher pressure by compressing the lower-pressuresteam.Heat-driven Rankine cycle (Figure 4). This
24、cycle is usefulwhere large quantities of heat are wasted and energy costs arehigh. The heat pump portion of the cycle may be either open orclosed, but the Rankine cycle is usually closed.HEAT SOURCES AND SINKSTable 1 shows the principal media used as heat sources and sinks.Selecting a heat source an
25、d sink for an application is primarily influ-enced by geographic location, climate, initial cost, availability, andtype of structure. Table 1 presents various factors to be consideredfor each medium. AirOutdoor air is a universal heat source and sink medium for heatpumps and is widely used in reside
26、ntial and light commercial sys-tems. Extended-surface, forced-convection heat transfer coils trans-fer heat between the air and refrigerant. Typically, the surface areaof outdoor coils is 50 to 100% larger than that of indoor coils. Thevolume of outdoor air handled is also greater than the volume of
27、indoor air handled by about the same percentage. During heating,the temperature of the evaporating refrigerant is generally 10 to20F less than the outdoor air temperature. Air heating and coolingcoil performance is discussed in more detail in Chapters 23 and 27.When selecting or designing an air-sou
28、rce heat pump, two fac-tors in particular must be considered: (1) the local outdoor air tem-perature and (2) frost formation.As the outdoor temperature decreases, the heating capacity of anair-source heat pump decreases. This makes equipment selection fora given outdoor heating design temperature mo
29、re critical for an air-source heat pump than for a fuel-fired system. Equipment must besized for as low a balance point as is practical for heating withouthaving excessive and unnecessary cooling capacity during the sum-mer. A procedure for finding this balance point, which is defined asthe outdoor
30、temperature at which heat pump capacity matches heat-ing requirements, is given in Chapter 49.When the surface temperature of an outdoor air coil is 32F orless, with a corresponding outdoor air dry-bulb temperature 4 to10F higher, frost may form on the coil surface. If allowed to accu-mulate, frost
31、inhibits heat transfer; therefore, the outdoor coil mustbe defrosted periodically. The number of defrosting operations isinfluenced by the climate, air-coil design, and the hours of opera-tion. Experience shows that, generally, little defrosting is requiredwhen outdoor air conditions are below 17F a
32、nd 60% rh. This can beconfirmed by psychrometric analysis using the principles given inFig. 1 Closed Vapor Compression CycleFig. 2 Mechanical Vapor Recompression Cycle with Heat ExchangerFig. 3 Open Vapor Recompression CycleFig. 4 Heat-Driven Rankine CycleApplied Heat Pump and Heat Recovery Systems

46、Chapter 23. However, under very humid conditions, when smallsuspended water droplets are present in the air, the rate of frostdeposit may be about three times as great as predicted from psychro-metric theory and the heat pump may require defrosting after as lit-tle as 20 min of operation. The loss o
47、f available heating capacitycaused by frosting should be considered when sizing an air-sourceheat pump.Following commercial refrigeration practice, early designs of air-source heat pumps had relatively wide fin spacing of 4 to 5 fins/in.,based on the theory that this would minimize defrosting freque
48、ncy.However, experience has shown that effective hot-gas defrosting al-lows much closer fin spacing and reduces the systems size and bulk.In current practice, fin spacings of 10 to 20 fins/in. are widely used.In many institutional and commercial buildings, some air mustbe continuously exhausted year
49、-round. This exhaust air can be usedas a heat source, although supplemental heat is generally necessary.High humidity caused by indoor swimming pools causes con-densation on ceiling structural members, walls, windows, and floorsand causes discomfort to spectators. Traditionally, outdoor air anddehumidification coils with reheat from a boiler that also heats thepool water are used. This is ideal for air-to-air and air-to-water heatpumps because energy costs can be reduced. Suitable materialsmust be chosen so that heat pump components are resistant to cor-rosion from chlorine and high
