Transcritical CO2 Heat Pumps for Domestic Hot Water Applications
FY 2013-14
Summary
The proposed project is focused on developing a working prototype of a heat pump for heating domestic hotwater using a trans-critical CO2 based cycle. The desired system will ideally use standard and/or commerciallyavailable components, i.e. compressors, heat exchangers, etc., and perform within the required operatingenvelope for domestic use. Such a product would be cost efficient with a pay back period of 6-8 years. Theproposed work involves the design and simulation of the system in addition to the assembly of a functionalprototype which will allow the sponsor to assess overall feasibility of the design and field test a refinedprototype.
