Abstract
The objectives of this study included: (1) development of
classes of heat pumps, (2) evaluation and selection of a suitable
heat pump design model, (3) characterization of suitable baseline
heat pump designs, (4) selection of design options that can be
used to improve heat pump efficiency, and (5) development of
heat pump designs to cover the whole spectrum of efficiencies
available today and those that may be technologically feasible in
the next few years.
