Abstract

This paper presents a numerical study on the influence of internal heat exchanger (IHX) exchanging surface in the performance of a transcritical CO2 heat pump water heater at different operating conditions. Five different IHX geometries and four different evaporation temperatures have been studied with water temperature ranging from 10 °C to 60 °C at the gas cooler inlet. The results show a strong influence of IHX characteristics on system’s performance.
