描述了预测电动空气源热泵稳态和季节性能的计算机模型。对两台热泵（稳态条件下）的加热和冷却性能的实验室数据与模型预测进行了比较。本文给出了安装在田纳西州诺克斯维尔一个无人居住住宅中的电热泵的季节和年度能耗测量结果，并与模型预测结果进行了比较。描述了一种将稳态和季节性性能计算结合起来，并将其置于数值优化程序控制下的方法。该组合代码用于确定热泵的设计，该热泵将年能耗降至最低，同时满足设计冷却能力，且风扇和压缩机的效率和总热交换表面积与实验室试验中使用的一台热泵相当。优化结果表明，年能耗降低了16%，但确定约一半的节能是由于假设或稳定的环境- 州计算。研究发现，真正的节能效果来自于风扇功率的降低和循环损耗的降低。对具有理想制冷剂流量控制的中央空调和热泵进行了类似的分析。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1985年，第91卷，pt。你好，檀香山2B

Computer models for predicting the steady-state and seasonal performance of electric driven, air-source heat pumps are described. Laboratory data on the heating and cooling performance of two heat pumps (under steady-state conditions) are compared with model predictions. Measurements of the seasonal and annual energ consumption for an electric heat pump installed in an unoccupied home in Knoxville, TN, are presented and also compared with model predictions.A method for combining the steady-state and seasonal performance calculations and placing them under the control of a numerical optimization procedure is described. This combined code was used to determine the design of a heat pump which minimized annual energy consumption and yet met a design cooling capacity and had fan and compressor efficiencies and total heat exchange surface area comparable to one of the heat pumps used for the laboratory tests. The optimization results indicated a 16% reduction in annual energy consumptions but it was determined that about half of the energy savings was due to assumptions or the steady-state calculations. The true energy savings were found to result from reduced fan powers and lower cycling losses. Similar analyses were performed for a central air-conditioner and a heat pump with idealized refrigerant flow control.Units: Dual
