New better design for water-water heat pumps

Abstract

In air conditioning facilities most of the energy consumption corresponds to the thermal production, this being heat and cold. It depends on many factors, one of the most important in the use of more efficient devices (boilers, chillers and heat pumps)for supply thermal energy. In this work the efficiency of the reversible waterwater heat pumps is analyzed, proposing a new better design that optimizes the nergy consumptiom. This improvement hardly requires modifications at manufacturing, therefore, it could be easily developed by manufacturers.
