Description
In this study, a vertical shell-type heat exchanger was used as the superheating-cooling unit in a vapor-compression heat pump. R417A gas was selected as the refrigerant, requiring no additional modifications to the system. The ambient temperatures of the condensers and evaporators used in the system were 22°C and 15°C, respectively, and the airflow velocities were 3.7 m/s and 4.6 m/s, respectively. After the system stabilized, the calculated COP values from the obtained data were examined. It was observed that using a vertical heat exchanger with a 6 mm finned spaced evaporator increased system performance by 16.43% compared to using a vertical heat exchanger with an 8 mm finned spaced evaporator.
