LESSON 1: HEAT PUMP FUNDAMENTALS
Favs
List at least five factors that must be
controlled it comfortable indoor
‘environment is to be maintained.
Desoribe in simple terms the basic process
by which a refrigerant transfers heat energy.
In your own words, state the first law of
thermodynamics.
Define work.
(One horsepower (1 hp) of mechanical
energy is equivalent to w
of electrical energy, and one watt (1 W)
of electrical energy is equivalent to
Btu of heat energy.
In your own words, state the second law of
thermodynamics.
Heat always travels from a(n)
matorial to a(n) material
The factors that must be controlled include
temperature, humidty, air motion, dust,
bacteria, odors, toxic gases, and ionization.
Ref: 3/1
A refrigerant is used to transfer heat when
it changes states. When liquid refrigerant
evaporates into a vapor, heat is absorbed
by the vapor. When refrigerant vapor is
condensed into a liquid, heat is rejected
trom the refrigerant.

Energy can neither be created nor
destroyed, but can be changed from one
form into another.

two materials in order for heat energy to
travel.

What is the difference between latent heat
and sensible heat?
‘The latent heat of causes a
change in phase from vapor to liquid. The
latent heat of causes a change
in phase from liquid to vapor.
What is specific heat?
What is superheat?

Define pressure.
(One atmosphere of pressure (atmospheric
pressure at sea level) is equivalent to
psia.
Which pressure scale has the greater
resolution, one calibrated in inches of
mercury (in. Hg) or one calibrated in inches
of water column (in. w.9.)?
What is saturated vapor pressure?
What is the mathematical relationship
between specitic volume and density?
In which component of a refrigeration system
does the refrigerant absorb heat?
The indoor coll of a heat pump system
serves as tho during the cooling
season, and as the ‘during the
heating season,

is heat removed from the refrigerant?
