OBJECTIVE:
To determine the Coefficient of Performance of heat Pump and production of Heat Pump
performance curves over a range of source and delivery temperatures.
APPARATUS:
PROCEDURE:
Switch on the vapor-compression refrigeration apparatus after taking care of all necessary precautions.
Allow running of the apparatus for a while so that the readings shown become stable. Change the
condenser water flow rate using the knob provided, for each set of readings. Insert the values in the table
of observations.

SPECIMENCALCULATION:(for first set of reading)
The energy meter installed on the apparatus is based on the following relationship:
6
800Flashes Per kilo-watt-hour(kWh)corresponds3.6x10 Joules (J)i.e.1kWh
6
1FlashPerkilo-watt-hour(kWh)corresponds (3.6x10 )/800 Joules (J)andthatequals 4500J.
Hence
(wcom)= 0.24271kW
(qcon)= 0.377kW
Now:
COP = _1.55_
COMMENTS:
1. The apparatus must be start for some time before the readings are to be noted.
2. By observing the table we have a direct relation b/w the pressure & heat transfer in evaporater which
increases as pressure increases or vice versa.
3. There is inverse relation b/w the pressure & heat transfer in condenser.

COMMENTS:
1. As COP has inverse relation with the condenser outlet temperature so as the condenser outlet
temperature increases, heat output across the condenser also increases and as a result COP will
decrease.
2. COP is inversely proportional to inlet temp. of water.
3. From the table we observe that as the pressure increases the temperature also increases accordingy
which results in a gradual increase in condenser outlet temperature showing a direct relation b/w these
quantities

and h3=h4
The following readings were taken from p-h diagram
wcom = 242.7
qcon= 0.296 KW
qevap= 0.175 KW
COP = 0.242/0.296
COP =1.22
1. As COP has inverse relation with the condenser outlet temperature so as the condenser outlet temperature
increases, heat output across the condenser also increases and as a result COP will decrease.
2. As the condenser water outlet temperature increases the heat output rate also increases by some
proportion that is specific
3. Compressor input power increases along with a small increase in heat output of condenser which at the
end decreases once again showing an abrupt behavior with sudden changes while operating.
