A vapour compression heat pump is driven by a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 25%. For the heat pump, refrigerant-12 is compressed from saturated vapour at 2.0 bar to the condenser pressure of 12 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%. Saturated liquid enters the expansion valve at 12 bar. For the power cycle 80% of the heat rejected by it is transferred to the heated space which has a total heating requirement of 500 kJ/min. Determine the power input to the heat pump compressor. The following data for refrigerant-12 may be used :
Pressure, bar | Temperature, °C |
Enthalpy, kJ/kg | Entropy, kJ/kg K | ||
Liquid | Vapour | Liquid | Vapour | ||
2.0 12.0 |
– 12.53 49.31 |
24.57 84.21 |
182.07 206.24 |
0.0992 0.3015 |
0.7035 0.6799 |
Vapour specific heat at constant pressure = 0.7 kJ/kg K. (Anna University)
