Discussion

The heat pump is heat transferring mechanism. The evaporator is used to absorb
heat in one location and releasing the heat through the evaporator to another
location. Some refrigerating systems can reverse their services thus making the
evaporator function as a condenser and the evaporator as the condenser. By doing
so, the heat flow is reversed. By use of the special reversing valve, the system either
cools or heats the space.

Heat pump system Works according to thermo dynamics priciples.it can be observed
in the heat pump experiment tha teach of the laws of thermo dynamics is realized.In
the system, the carnot cycle occurs while providing thermalequilibrium in the water
container.These conditions are caused by the zero than second laws.Although the
cooling the system, absolute zero point is unreachable for now. It also refers to the
third law of thermo dynamics.

Isertropic compaction at the compressor, heat transfer at constant pressure to the

environment in the condenser, constant enthalpy expansion in expansion valve and
heat transfer to the fluid at constant pressure in theevaporator ,all of themoccured in
order. Freon, known as R-134a, was used as refrigerant in thesystem. As in every
experiment, in this one was also given some margin of error. The theoretical and
experimental calculation results are different from each other.This to mean that the
findings of the study cannot be equivalent to theoretical values due to several
reasons. One of the main reason as to why the results may be due to reading
mistakes which are made on the p-h diagram of the refrigerant. The other reason is
that the theoretical results depend on idealized cycle. There also otherfactors that
cause the difference like friction, heatloss etc. Experimental errors may also happen
due to variation in the rate of massflow of water in the system which leads to wrong
results. The other reason may be due to a wrong reading of the experimental results
by the researcher. Individual errors made when reading the values of the
experimental apparatus. Sensitivity in the measuring instruments can lead to
experimental errors. The sensitivity of the instrument used in the measurement may
be very important.

Practicallimitations are imposed on the analysis of all vapor compression refrigeration

systems such that care must be taken to ensure that all assumptions are relevant to
the particular system under analysis. For example, a refrigerant condenser having
numerous sharp bends and where the bore of the pipe is small enough to cause high
velocity flow will lead to excessive refrigerant pressure drop from viscous friction.
Significant errors could arise in calculations if the condensing process is assumed to
occur at constant pressure.

The first data were considered to be cleaner because the water temperature in the
condenser pipeline should be between 15-30 degrees. The whole system turns to
cooldown, the water temperature reaches 30 degrees, when the whole system
changes to hot water temperature reaches 15 degrees. In the experiment, in the units
that cool and heatth environment, it was observed that the condenser warmed and
cooled the water around 5 degrees.
