Does a heat pump below zero? | Nergiza
It has always been said that heat pumps are not recommended at very low temperatures, as they lose a lot of capacity and performance is very bad. We will see in this post if this is one of those statements that is outdated or whether it remains true.
We will try to explain without going into too much technical detail or Mollier food warming equipment diagrams, etc ... A heat pump works by passing a gas to liquid phase in the indoor unit (gives food warming equipment off heat) and driving him into the gas phase on the outside (absorbs heat = emits cold), so there are two key pressures food warming equipment in the system: high (heat) and low (cold). While not exactly true, we say that the difference between the high pressure and low is always a fixed value.
The first reason why the system does not work well at low temperatures is that as the outside temperature decreases, the low pressure also decreases, and as the difference between high and low is constant, high also decrease, causing the temperature in the indoor unit is lower and therefore less powerful heating.
The second reason is the defrost, if the outside temperature is eg 0, we must evaporate (outdoor unit) to just under temperature to absorb heat from the air, so there will be zero temperatures in the computer battery, which It will hence freezing ambient humidity, creating ice.
The heat pump equipment are equipped with mechanisms that detect this situation and reverse the cycle, going to heat in the outdoor unit and cool on the inside for a while to melt the ice formed so we can continue to operate correctaemente. This defrost cycle, as you will understand, decreases computer performance and heat capacity because for a while "produces cold" in the indoor unit.
To begin, it is necessary to say that this should not be a problem never, food warming equipment now or in the past, because you can just check the capacity tables / temperatures and select a team the necessary power when we have the minimum temperature the area where it is installed.
If I calculated the heating demand my local and I think 18kW, I can be naive and select a team of 20 kW rated power (which comes in the catalog) as the table, but when the outdoor temperature is -5 C, my computer will barely 12kW, so it will not be enough. Solution: select a team of 18kW at -5 C or at the minimum temperature that exists in the area.
Although not all manufacturers have them, today there are teams that have solved this problem with various technologies. Let's see eg Mitsubishi Electric equipment of Zubadan range.
For example Zubadan 5cv equipment (orange line) retains its nominal heating pontencia (14kW) food warming equipment to -15 C, even at -25 C is more capable of 10kW. While an inverter team "normal" (blue line) announces such as rated power 14kW and gives only 5 C outside tempeartura, when low tempeatura at -15 C is only able to give a 7kW.
Mind you, this only means that the Zubadan team will be able to "not let you pulled" when the outside temperature is low, have not talked about application efficiency in these cases it will be much worse than normal food warming equipment outdoor temperature (5 C).
Although each has his methods, in general way is to inject liquid phase refrigerant (from the condenser outlet) food warming equipment in the compressor when low outdoor temperatures are detected. We will not go much into this as it would be outside the scope of Nergiza (energy for all audiences).
The conclusion is clear, if someone complains that your heat pump not properly calefacta the days of low outdoor temperatures, the fault is not the computer if not the designer who designed the installation, the installer has calculated ojímetro or our dear friend TodoEnMenaje SL seller who has sold us a team based on the square footage of our local.
