The objective of the program is research, development, and demonstration of a double-effect generator-cycle absorption heat pump for residential and small commercial markets. During Phases II and IIA, a 3RT advanced breadboard air-to-air reverse cycle heat pump was designed, fabricated, and tested and the heating and cooling targets were achieved. The parasitic power consumption targets were not demonstrated in these phases. The refrigerant-generator/heat-exchanger subsystem, the interface heat exchangers, and prototype solution pumps based on three different pumping technologies were designed, fabricated, tested, and delivered by Columbia subcontractors. Development of a packaged prototype heat pump based on components and subsystems designed in these phases is recommended.
