Coefficient of Performance of Heat Pump using Heat in Cold and Hot Reservoir Calculator

Calculate Coefficient of Performance of Heat Pump





Formula

The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Performance of Heat Pump is:

\[ \text{COP}_{\text{HP}} = \frac{Q_H}{Q_H - Q_L} \]

Where:

Definition

COP of Heat Pump given Heat in the cold and hot reservoir is the ratio of the heat supplied to the system to the work required by the system.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{COP}_{\text{HP}} = \frac{640}{640 - 350} \]

Evaluating:

\[ \text{COP}_{\text{HP}} = 2.20689655172414 \]

The Coefficient of Performance of Heat Pump is 2.20689655172414.
