- Abstract
- A simultaneous cooling and heating multi-heat pump can improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency through heat recovery at partial load conditions. The performance of a simultaneous heating and cooling multi-heat pump with four indoor units was measured by varying the compressor speed, EEV opening, and fan speed at full and partial load conditions in five operating modes. In the cooling-only and heating-only modes, the heating and cooling capacities were properly controlled by varying the compressor speed. However, in the cooling-main and heating-main modes under partial load conditions, a large imbalance between the cooling and heating capacities was observed even though the compressor speed was optimized. This capacity imbalance under partial load conditions was optimized by adjusting the EEV openings in the mode change unit and the outdoor unit. In addition, in the entire-heat recovery mode, rating compressor speed ratios were proposed under the full and partial load conditions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd and IIR. All rights reserved.
