Abstract

The simulation program which can predict major performances of the multi-type heat pump system was developed. In order to verify the simulation program, several experimental tests were performed under various recommended conditions. The experimental results show in good agreement with simulation results. The verified simulation program was used to analyze the system performance. The capacities and the COP's under the various indoor and outdoor conditions were predicted. Therefore, it may be concluded that the system simulation program developed in this study may be effectively used for the system design and the performance prediction of the multi-type heat pump system.
