AC 03.1 – Heat Pump Demonstration
The AC 03.1 equipment demonstrates clearly the operation of a heat pump air / water.
The system consists of: compressor, circulating pump, flow control valve, storage tank, condenser, filter / drier, expansion valve and evaporator fan, water flow meters, temperature sensors and pressure displays at strategic points circuit.
With this complete teaching unit, it can be studied with clarity the use of environmental energy to heat water.
The refrigerant absorbs ambient heat when passing through the evaporator with a fan, and subsequently transferred to the water in the condenser.
The hot water storage tank is equipped with an internal heat exchanger, which can be connected to the network, to exchange energy with the flow of water.
The heat absorbed by the water in the condenser, turn to hot water tank, where the heat energy can be exchanged with the flow of water.
The system is also ready to operate in open circuit, ie the mains water can enter directly to the condenser, which have instantaneous heating.
