The objective of the present manuscript is to develop a dynamic model to simulate the transient performance of a heat pump system that utilizes environmental-friendly refrigerant, Carbon Dioxide (R-744). Exploiting the high customizability of the modeling tools supporting acausal, equation-based, and object-oriented modeling approach, a dynamic model for a transcritical heat pump system was developed. The model was validated with the experimental results with particular attention to the refrigerant mass flow rate, cooling/heating capacity, compressor power, and the coefficient of performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
