Dynamic Model of a Transcritical CO<sub>2</sub> Heat Pump for Residential Water Heating

This paper presents a distributed mathematical model for a carbon dioxide direct expansion solar-assisted heat pump used to heat bath water. The main components are a gas cooler, a needle valve, an evaporator/collector, and a compressor. To develop the heat exchange models, mass, energy, and momentu...
