Temperature glide matching in a zeotropic mixture heat pump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The use of zeotropic mixtures in heat pumps should lead to a reduction of the exergy losses within the heat exchangers due to the temperature glide (TG) and thus to an improvement of the entire process. In a previous publication (ECOS 2016), the coefficient of performance (COP) as a function of evaporation / condensation temperature, compressor ...
