Frage 2
Frage
How is the COP rating different from the HSPF?
Antworten
-
HSPF takes data from multiple weather conditions.
-
Only the HSPF measures heating and cooling units.
-
Only the COP measures defrost.
-
COP takes data from multiple weather conditions.
Frage 3
Frage
Because air source heat pumps circulate less refrigerant at low ambient temperatures, the refrigerant not being used is stored

Frage 7
Frage
Heat pump A has a SEER rating of 16 and an HSPF rating of 7. Heat pump B has a SEER rating of 14 and an HSPF rating of 9. Which heat pump cools more efficiently?
Frage 8
Frage
What is the main difference between a heat pump and a fossil fuel furnace?
Antworten
-
Fossil fuel furnaces have been around longer.
-
Fossil fuel furnaces are hotter.
-
Heat pumps are easier to install.
-
Heat pumps move heat instead of creating it.
Frage 9
Frage
How can an air source heat pump heat when the outdoor temperature is cold?
Antworten
-
The friction of the air passing over the outdoor coil raises the temperature
-
All molecules contain some heat until they reach absolute 0 (-460ºF)
-
Air source heat pumps only use the outdoor air in the cooling season
-
All heating is accomplished with electrical resistance heaters, so the air temperature is irrelevant
Frage 10
Frage
How can you lower the temperature at which evaporation takes place?
Antworten
-
Reduce the pressure on the low side of the system
-
Raise the pressure on the low side of the pump
-
Decrease the pressure on the high side of the pump
-
Add more refrigerant into the pump

Frage 12
Frage
When are most heat pump reversing valves energized?
Frage 13
Frage
What makes the main valve in the reversing valve shift from one side to the other?
Antworten
-

-
An electronic stepper motor mounted on one end of the reversing valve
-
Pressure difference from one side of the valve to the other
-
A solenoid coil creates a magnetic field that pulls the valve to one end and repels it to the other
