This paper evaluates the seasonal thermodynamic efficiency of the air-to-air heat pump used for a heat recovery ventilation system and several modulations of compressors affecting the thermodynamic efficiency of the heat pump. A variable speed and on/off-type compressors have been selected. In order to evaluate the thermodynamic potential of the device, energy analysis has been performed. Along with modelling the operation of the air handling unit during the cold time of the year, variations in the thermodynamic efficiency or different modulation compressors have been compared. The obtained results have shown that the use of a few simple compressors causes a decrease in the seasonal parameters of the heat pump: heat generated by a condenser is 5% lower compared to the use of variable speed compressors and therefore the seasonal coefficient of the performance (COP) of the heat pump decreases by 5%. Possible improvement on the heat pump can be provided changing the compressor into variable speed or modulatory equipment, which allows adjusting to heat demand and thus increases the seasonal efficiency of the system from a thermodynamic point of view. Santrauka Straipsnyje vertinamas oras-oras šilumos siurblio, naudojamo vėdinimo sistemos šilumogrąžai, sezoninis termodinaminis naudingumas ir kelios kompresorių, turinčių įtakos termodinaminiam šilumos siurblio naudingumui, moduliacijos. Analizei pasirinkti kintamo greičio ir įjungiamo / išjungiamo tipo kompresoriai. Siekiant įvertinti įrenginio termodinaminį potencialą atliekama ekserginė analizė. Modeliuojant vėdinimo įrenginio veikimą šaltuoju metų laiku, lyginama, kaip kinta skirtingų moduliacijų kompresorių termodinaminis naudingumas. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad naudojant kelis paprastus kompresorius sezoniniai šilumos siurblio parametrai krenta: kondensatoriaus atiduodamas šilumos srautas yra 5 % mažesnis, lyginant su kintamo veikimo kompresorių naudojimu, be to, 5 % sumažėja sezoninis šilumos siurblio efektyvumo koeficientas (COP). Šilumos siurblį galima tobulinti kompresorių keičiant į kintamo greičio arba moduliacinį, kuris leistų prisitaikyti prie šilumos poreikio ir tokiu būdu termodinaminiu požiūriu pagerintų sezoninį sistemos efektyvumą.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of electronic flow control on the performance of a variable-speed heat pump. A heat pump with two different expansion devices (capillary tube and electronic expansion valve) was tested in a psychrometric calorimeter over a range of outdoor temperatures from −15 to 7°C. Heat pump performance was first optimized with respect to charge for each expansion device through cycle-matching tests. Parametric tests also were conducted by changing compressor speed and opening angle for the electronic expansion valve at each outdoor temperature. The refrigeration cycle characteristics of the electronic valve were illustrated using pressure-enthalpy diagrams. Performance enhancement was also analyzed in terms of superheat, heating capacity, and energy efficiency ratio (EER). Comparison of the capillary tube and electronic valve indicated that the superheat significantly improved when using the electronic valve. Also, unit showed larger heating capacity and EER with the electronic valve than with the capillary tube except when the compressor speed was above 95 Hz. Enhancement of heating performance became larger as outdoor temperature decreased.
