The most commonly installed residential heat pump in Australia and New Zealand is an air-to-air, single-split system for small units (see Figure 3). A single-split heat pump is used in your home to maintain a temperature of 295 K when the outside temperature is 2 °C. Heat transfer through the walls and roof is estimated to be 0.725 kJ/s per degree temperature difference between the inside and outside. Determine: i. ii. the power (in kWh) required to maintain the temperature if the COPHP is 12. the power (in kWh) required to maintain the temperature if a reversible Heat Pump is used.
