Use of fluidized bed heat exchangers in heat pump systems for improved performance. Progress report
The performance of a residential-type heat pump nominally rated at 60,000 Btu/hr is being investigated, when its heat exchangers are replaced with fluidized bed heat exchangers. A York heat pump has been obtained and installed and a plenum and associated ductwork have been constructed. The plenum recirculates exhaust and inlet air from and to the evaporator and condenser to maintain control over air flow temperatures. Work has been completed in the first phase of the design of fluidized bed heat exchangers in which bare tube heat transfer coefficients were obtained.
