Study Notes
Heat Pump Performance
- The coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump is 4.20.
- The heat pump requires a power of 1.75 kW to operate.
Energy Added to a Home
- The energy added to a home in one hour is calculated by multiplying the power by the time: 1.75 kW × 1 hour = 1.75 kWh.
Reversed Operation (Air Conditioner Mode)
- If the heat pump is reversed to act as an air conditioner, its coefficient of performance would be the reciprocal of the original COP: 1/4.20 = 0.238.
