Heat pump, compressor principle

Function and Application

The heat pump is a demonstration model on a tabletop frame with a symmetrical design, showing that refrigerators and heat pumps operate on the same principle.

Benefits

• Clear visualization of the piping layout
• Filled with environmentally friendly refrigerant Isobutane
• Durable circuit made of nickel-plated copper tubing for long service life
• Easy pressure monitoring via two pressure gauges (evaporator and condenser)
• Optimized heat exchange for precise efficiency measurements

Technical Specification

• Pressure safety switch
• Includes front panel
• Includes high- and low-pressure gauges
• Includes compressor and evaporator and condenser coils, each made of 2.6 m nickel-plated copper tubing
• Four temperature measurement points, each before and after the heat exchangers
• Working pressure in the evaporator: 0–3 bar
• Operating pressure in the condenser: 6–15 bar
• Compressor power: 50–60 W
• Supply voltage: 230 V
• Housing dimensions: 650 × 470 × 250 mm
