Introduction
This Lab report will cover the heat-pump & discuss Conditioning test cooling in the refrigerant
R134a. It'll contain data with respect to the test setup, the results of the experiment, and some
.discussions about what happens during period of time
Test Setup
- This experiment setup have two different condenser and evaporator units. It has a
condenser air heat exchanger and a condenser water coil, and also an evaporator air
heat exchanger and an evaporator water coil. As we have four expansion valves for
each of the units. In addition, The Sensors are going to measure the changes in
temperatures, and the manometers will be measuring the pressure of the system.
Evaporator: heat is removed by air
Compressor: air heated used to be compressed and worked here finally it is produced by
electricity.
Condenser: after heated air is been taken far from the evaporator the heat rejected transfer to the
condenser.
Expansion Valve: removes pressure from the liquid refrigerant to allow change of state from a
liquid to a vapor in the evaporator at point 5-1.
The experiment is about cooling the budling or the room, when the cycle begins, the refrigerant
goes to the compressor, which increases the pressure and temperature. At that point, the
refrigerant streams into the condenser water coil, which rejects heat into heat sink. After that, the
refrigerant goes through an expansion valve so that it is at the fitting levels of pressure and
temperature to create the cycle proceed. Following, it streams to the evaporator air exchanger,
where heat is retained from a surandings. At last, it goes back into the compressor as vapor, and
the cycle repeat

COP
- The COP calculated from the actual cycle for the cooling:
For cooling: COP = ( h1- h4 ) / ( h2 - h1 )
As the COP is calculated from
0m to 2m = 7.72
2m to 4m = 6.82
4m to 6m = 6.58
6m to 8m = 6.63
8m to 10m = 6.75
10m to 12m = 6.95
Discussion
refrigerant flow rate:
cooling mode:
SENSORS Mdot = SC-1 / 60s
0m to 2m = (37.2/60) = 0.620kg/s
2m to 4m = (36.1/60) = 0.602kg/s
4m to 6m = (35.7/60) = 0.595kg/s
6m to 8m = (35.6/60) = 0.593kg/s
8m to 10m = (35.4/60) = 0.590kg/s
10m to 12m = (35.4/60) = 0.590kg/s
TEST-APP Mdot = work / (h2 - h1)
0m to 2m = 0.5040 / (297.32 - 274.37) = 0.0220 kg/s
2m to 4m = 0.4994 / (300.80 - 274.94) = 0.0186 kg/s
4m to 6m = 0.4948 / (301.94 - 275.14) = 0.0186 kg/s
6m to 8m = 0.4940 / (301.89 - 275.26) = 0.0185 kg/s
8m to 10m = 0.4966 / (301.29 - 275.10) = 0.0190 kg/s
10m to 12m = 0.4931 / (300.55 - 275.05) = 0.0193 kg/s
Therefore, the mass flow rate is not identical from the reding from the sensors.
cooling capacity Q = Mdot * (h1 – h4)
0m to 2m = 0.620* (274.37- 97.315) = 109.77 kw
2m to 4m = 0.602* (274.94 - 98.539) = 109.37kw
4m to 6m = 0.595* (275.14 - 98.842) = 104.90 kw
6m to 8m = 0.593* (275.26 - 98.711) = 104.69 kw
8m to 10m = 0.590* (275.10 - 98.303) = 104.31 kw
10m to 12m = 0.590* (275.05 - 97.755) = 104.60 kw
With the fan starts, the condenser operates at lower temperatures because the improved heat
transfers the fan's effect on the condenser can lead to increased subcooling of the refrigerant,
.which lead to improvement of the efficiency of the system
Increasing the fan power: improves the condenser's performance, leading to an increase in COP,
high energy consumption, and lower condensing temperature which lead to a smaller
.temperature difference between the condenser and the out of the system
Decreasing Fan Power: reduced system efficiency, higher condensing temperatures, increases the
work input required by the compressor, and decreased COP
The capacity is much greater in Cooling capacity of evaporator rather than Heating of condenser,
as T2 > (T1-T2)
Cooling in summer is more efficient than heating the evaporator in winter. As in heating there
are three points the system has to go throw which are: saturated heat, sensible, and vaporizing
heating. In addition, heat transfer in cooling is faster than heat transfer in heat. Hence, cooling is
.more efficient than heating
