A heat pump-bases HVAC system can remove heat from a building by

(a) compressing the refrigerant to make it hotter than the outside air

(b) compressing the refrigerant to make it cooler than the outside air

(c) expanding the refrigerant to make it hotter than the outside air

(d) blowing the heat out of the building using a fan

Expert Solution

The correct answer is the option (A).

EXPLANATION

HVAC System based Heat Pump consists of a Vapour Compression Refrigeration cycle, and hence last two options (c) & (d) gets eliminated.

Now for removing heat from a building, that is, for cooling purpose refrigerant need to take heat from inside air and exchange it with outside air so that heat from inside air is extracted and gets transferred to outside air.

Now to transfer heat through the heat exchanger to outside air, the temperature of refrigerant need to me more than the temperature of outside air and hence option (A) is the correct answer.

Refrigerant 134a is the working fluid in a vapor-compression heat pump system with a heating capacity of 60,000 Btu/h. The condenser operates at 180 lbf/in.2, and the evaporator temperature is 0°F. The refrigerant is a saturated vapor at the evaporator exit and a liquid at 110°F at the condenser exit. Pressure drops in the flows through the evaporator and condenser are negligible. The compression process is adiabatic, and the temperature at the compressor exit is 180°F. Determine (a) the mass...
