Abstract
The present work is aimed at mapping the thermodynamic performance of a dishwasher operating in the so-called ‘Ecomode’, where the heating is provided exclusively by a heat pump, in accordance with the requirements of the IEC 60436 standard. Tests were carried out in a climate chamber that allows strict control of the surrounding air temperature. In addition, an auxiliary rig was built to control the dishwasher water supply temperature. Initially, a test matrix was proposed for screening the appliance performance in a broad envelope of operating conditions for a given washing load. Later, the test matrix was reduced to get the most out of the standardized tests with a minimum set of data. To this end, a simplified mathematical approach was put forward to reduce the experimental data to come out with key system parameters, such as the thermal conductance and capacitance of the washing cabinet, and the seasonal heat pump coefficient of performance (SCOP), which cannot be easily obtained by means of direct measurements.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling.
As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews.
Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
