Air-Source Heat Pump

Heating Mode Air-Source Heat Pump Refrigeration System


Heating Mode

Outdoor Coil Tubes

Compressor: Moves the


refrigerant through the system. Outdoor Fans: Draw ambient air
across the outdoor coil.
Discharge Line
Outdoor Coil: Transfers heat from
the ambient air to the cool refrigerant.

Ambient Air: Enters the outdoor coil cool and leaves colder.
Suction Line

Sight Glass / Moisture Indicator: Provides a view into the


system. Indicator is green normally, yellow when high in moisture.

Indoor Coil Tubes Liquid Line

Indoor Coil: Rejects


heat absorbed from the
ambient air along with the
heat added to the system Filter-Dryer: Expansion Device: Causes
during compression. Removes water, debris expansion cooling by creating a
and other contaminants pressure loss between the high and
from the refrigerant. low side of the system.

Supply Air: Enters the indoor coil cool and leaves warm.

SYSTEM TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES LOAD CALCULATIONS


Refrigerant State T, ºF R-454B, psig Superheat/Subcool Condenser
Qout (Btu/hr) = 1.08 x SCFM x ∆ Temperature
Low Pressure Saturated 27 82 (Indoor Coil)
Low Pressure Superheated Vapor 37 82 Superheat = T - Tsat = 37º - 27º = 10ºF Evaporator
Qin (Btu/hr) = 4.5 x SCFM x ∆ Enthalpy
High Pressure Gas 145 300 (Outdoor Coil)
High Pressure Saturated 100 300
High Pressure Liquid 90 300 Subcool = Tsat - T = 100º - 90º = 10ºF
