Heat Pump Cycle (－ )

Refrigeration Cycle: keep low temperature of heat source with low temperature

Heat Pump Cycle: keep high temperature of heat source with high temperature

Working FluidGas Cycle: no phase-change of working fluid during cycle

Vapor Cycle: phase-change of working fluid during cycle

Combustion form Inner Combustion Outer Combustion

Combustion occurs in system Combustion occurs out of system

Gas is also the working fluid.The heat is transferred to working fluid through heat exchanger.

Carnot Vapor Cycle

Several impracticalities are associated with this cycle:

1. It is impractical to design a compressor that will handle two phases for

isentropic compression process(4-1).

2. The quality of steam decrease during isentropic expansion process(2-3)

which do harm to turbine blades.

3. The critical point limits the maximum temperature used in the cycle

which also limits the thermal efficiency.

4. The specific volume of steam is much higher than that of water which

means large amount of work and equipments input.

Gas Refrigeration Cycle

Vapor-Compression Refrigeration Cycle

• Shortcomings of Gas-Compression Refrigeration Cycle

1.small Refrigeration-Coefficient because heat absorption

and rejection are not isothermal process;

2.Lower refrigeration capability of refrigerant (gas)

• So…refrigerant is change to Vapor

The highest efficiency is that of Vapor Carnot Reverse Cycle

Impracticalities:

1.Large moisture content is highly

undesirable for compressor and turbine.

2.Work output is limited by liquid expansion

in the turbine.
