LESSON 1: HEAT PUMP FUNDAMENTALS Favs List at least five factors that must be controlled it comfortable indoor ‘environment is to be maintained. Desoribe in simple terms the basic process by which a refrigerant transfers heat energy. In your own words, state the first law of thermodynamics. Define work. (One horsepower (1 hp) of mechanical energy is equivalent to w of electrical energy, and one watt (1 W) of electrical energy is equivalent to Btu of heat energy. In your own words, state the second law of thermodynamics. Heat always travels from a(n) matorial to a(n) material The factors that must be controlled include temperature, humidty, air motion, dust, bacteria, odors, toxic gases, and ionization. Ref: 3/1 A refrigerant is used to transfer heat when it changes states. When liquid refrigerant evaporates into a vapor, heat is absorbed by the vapor. When refrigerant vapor is condensed into a liquid, heat is rejected trom the refrigerant. Ref 3 Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form into another. Ref: 5/2 A force moving an object in the direction of the force. Ref: 5/3 746 W, 3.413 Btu Ref: 5/4, 5 A temperature difference must exist between two materials in order for heat energy to travel. Ref: 5/7 Higher-temperature, lower-temperature. Ref: 5/7-6/1 rs10. 1, 12. 13, 14, 15, Paes ‘Temperature is a measurement of heat British thermal units and Calories are measurements of heat What is the difference between latent heat and sensible heat? ‘The latent heat of causes a change in phase from vapor to liquid. The latent heat of causes a change in phase from liquid to vapor. What is specific heat? What is superheat? Convert 68°F to an equivalent Celsius temperature. Convert 25°C to an equivalent Fahrenhait temperature. Absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale is °F, 10. nn 12, 13. 14, 16. SON 1: HEAT PUMP FUNDAMENTALS: intensity, quantity. rn Latent heat causes a change in the state of a substance without a change in its temperature. Sensible heat causes a change in the temperature of a substance without a change in its state, Re an,2 Condensation, vaporization. Ref: 8/1 Specific heat is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 Ib of a substance by 1 Ref: 8/3 ‘Superheat is energy that raises the temperature of a vapor above its saturation temperature.

(One atmosphere of pressure (atmospheric pressure at sea level) is equivalent to psia. Which pressure scale has the greater resolution, one calibrated in inches of mercury (in. Hg) or one calibrated in inches of water column (in. w.9.)? What is saturated vapor pressure? What is the mathematical relationship between specitic volume and density? In which component of a refrigeration system does the refrigerant absorb heat? The indoor coll of a heat pump system serves as tho during the cooling season, and as the ‘during the heating season, In which component of a refrigeration system is heat removed from the refrigerant? 16. 17. 18, 19. 20. 24 22. 23, CSIs Force per unit of area. Ref: 10/2 14.696 (14.7) psia Ref: 10/2 The one calibrated in inches of water column, Ref: 10/4~11/2 The pressure exerted by a saturated vapor above its own liquid or solid (the pressure at which vapor and its liquid, or vapor and jis solid, can exist in equilibrium at a given temperature).
