- Abstract
The influence of flow step ratio (FSR) on the startup characteristics of instant heat pump water heaters (IHPWHs) with natural mixture M (R744/R290 (12/88)) under nominal conditions was studied experimentally to verify the feasibility of a new quick startup method. The results show that the FSR had a marked effect on the startup time of system performance parameters. Under the optimal FSR of 0.6, the shortest system startup time and available hot water supply time were 700 s and 250 s, respectively, which were markedly shorter than those in the conventional startup. Therefore, rapid startup of the system and rapid production of usable domestic hot water can be realized by controlling the flow step. The influence of flow step on the variation trend of system performance parameters was obviously different, and there was no slow warming section for the heat sink outlet temperature (HSOT) under three FSRs. The HSOT, heating capacity, and high pressure side pressures had the maximum values in the quick startup, and the maximum values were obviously affected by the FSR. The FSR had no marked effect on the minimum suction pressure. The refrigerant pressures and refrigerant temperatures fluctuated markedly in both rapid and conventional starts.
