Characterization of a hybrid heat pump module

Scope

This CEN Workshop Agreement specifies the experimental methodology to characterize a hybrid heat pump under real operating conditions to derive performance parameters, which can be also presented as a map of performance, and heat pump capacity as a function of operating conditions.
The characterization includes a definition of testing rig configuration, a testing methodology, the list and definition of relevant performance parameters and the procedure for calculating them. The characterization can be of help to make comparisons in terms of performance.
This CEN Workshop Agreement is valid to a vast range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications and to those wishing to:
- turn renewable heat and waste heat into useful cooling effect;
- minimize energy consumption;
- reduce operational costs; and
- lower CO2 footprint.
