Question
A heat pump operates with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. You are required to
analyze its performance, and compare it with Camot heat pump. The data of the heat
pump is as under:
23 - Thermodynamies-II
Page 1 of 3

at 2.4 bar and increases the pressure to 8.0 bar. Efficiency of the compressor is 80%.
a Temperatures at the principal states of the cycle, each °C
b. Power input to the compressor, in kW
c. Coefficient of performance
Relate its performance with the specifications provided by the vendor i.e. COP = 8.5 and
identify the possible reasons of differences. Draw Ts diagram
