Simulation of a motor-driven heat pump

As part of their thesis, students Marlies Mairhofer and Konrad Niedermayr developed a remarkable demonstration system: a replica of the electromechanical energy chain that can be used, for example, for a hybrid drive in heat pumps. Shortly after its completion, the...

Hybrid drive for heat pumps: secured power supply and more

The heat pump is a remarkable machine: it is able to convert the energy input up to 6 times into heating energy. However, there is a small downside to the otherwise very sophisticated and quiet mode of operation: on the coldest days, its efficiency (COP = coefficient...
