Heat pumps can utilize various sources of heat to increase the temperature of a room or water. This study uses solar energy as a heat source for high-temperature heat pumps. The type of heat pump used is a vapor compression heat pump and is used to produce steam. The study created a model and simulation of a heat pump combined with solar energy. Sy...

There is a growing demand from the industrial sector and the population to cover the need for water temperature increases that can be covered with systems such as heat pumps. The present research aims to increase the heat transfer to the working fluid in a collector/evaporator, part of a solar-assisted direct expansion heat pump. This research was...
