Experimental study on low temperature heating performance of different vapor injection heat pump systems equipped with a flash tank and economizers for electric vehicle

Kang Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of vapor injection technology to enhance the heating performance of air conditioning heat pump systems in electric vehicles operating at extremely low temperatures. Experimental results showed that the flash tank vapor injection (FVI), economizer vapor injection (EVI) with both upstream injection (UI) and downstream injection (DI) configurations significantly improved the system's heating capacity and coefficient of performance. The optimal injection pressure range for the system was determined to be 0.16-0.37 MPa. The findings suggested that an economizer with a downstream path achieved better heating performance at relatively low temperatures, while a flash tank offered advantages at temperatures below -15 degrees C.

Assessment of Optimal Operating Range and Case Verification of a Waste Heat Air-Source Heat Pump Water Heater Based on a Semiempirical Parametric Model

Youxin Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, a semiempirical parametric model of a waste heat air-source heat pump water heater (WH-ASHPWH) system was established to simulate the heating performance under different working conditions and determine the optimum operating range. By calibrating the heat exchanger model and using the global model, the effects of different waste heat conditions on the heating performance of the system were studied. The simulation results showed that the coefficient of performance (COP) reached a maximum value of 4.5 under the optimum working conditions, with a deviation of less than 8.28% compared to experimental values and a simulation time of less than 8 minutes. These findings indicate that the model is reasonable and efficient.

Experimental Investigation of Gravity Effect on a Vapor Compression Heat Pump System

Zhanfeng Huang et al.

Summary: Vapor compression heat pumps have the potential to meet the future thermal management requirements in aerospace with high heat flux dissipation, precise temperature control, and compact structure. A variable-angle test stand was used to study the effect of gravity on the performance, temperature distribution, and oil circulation rate of a vapor compression heat pump system in a ground environment. The results showed stable operation at different inclination angles, with the best performance achieved at a 90-degree inclination angle and a maximum coefficient of performance (COP) of 5.5. The system flow rate varied sinusoidally with a 10.7% change relative to the initial flow rate as the inclination angle increased.

Summary: The study showed that the heating capacity and coefficient of performance of the microchannel system increased significantly compared to the baseline fin-and-tube system. However, the fin-and-tube system exhibited more obvious attenuation in heating capacity under frosting conditions. Additionally, the primary energy consumption, CO2 emission, and corresponding cost were lower for the microchannel system compared to the fin-and-tube system. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis with unit electricity price was conducted in the economic analysis to determine the life cycle cost.
