摘要
This paper presents the effect of heat exchanger design on heat pump performance based on partial load operating conditions. 3-D numerical analysis was conducted to calculate face velocity profiles for each outdoor heat exchanger design (rectangular, cylindrical, and trapezoidal) in 10 different operating conditions. Heat exchanger circuits were modified considering heat exchanger face velocity distributions, and seasonal heat pump performances were calculated with modified heat exchanger design. The maximum seasonal performance enhancement of 7.07% was achieved with a modified heat exchanger design. Air-side flow maldistribution could affect significantly refrigerant path design and heat exchanger performance as well as system performance. The analysis results also revealed that smaller refrigerant circuits at the upper part of the heat exchanger interacting with higher air velocity could further enhance the annual system performance.
