This study aims to develop the optimization of heat pump system working parameters for minimum energy consumption, operating time and noise level for a novel dishwasher. In an integrated heat pump system, compressor speed (N) and air flow rate (V̇) over the evaporator are selected as variables that affects energy consumption (E), acoustic level (A) and operating time (t). Due to the international energy regulations for household appliances, energy efficiency is highly important and for user comfort, operation time and noise level are critical. In order to perform optimization, experiments have been conducted with various parameters and outputs are recorded. Since, it is impossible to test all range of selected parameters and their combinations, experiments are conducted with pre-defined parameters which are compressor speeds and air flow rates. In order to estimate all range of parameter value outputs curve fit polynomials are obtained by using experimental data. The experiment results are compared with the results of analytical analysis. For optimization; energy consumption, operating time and noise level are defined as objective functions. Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) method is used to minimize the objective functions. Optimization is achieved by using Matlab commercial software. The advantage of heat pump system integration is 302 Wh decrease in energy consumption. However, the main disadvantage is an increase in noise level. Noise level may increase up to 46.8 dBA due to compressor and fan. Heating time is longer with heat pump integrated dishwasher (HPIDW) system with respect to electric resistance dishwasher (ERDW). However, cleaning program algorithm can be changed in order to eliminate this elongation of heating time.

Experiment-based optimization of an energy-efficient heat pump integrated water heater for household appliances Kütük, Erkan; Çetin, Barbaros; Bayer, Özgür (2022-04-15) Novel experimental-based study aims to determine the extent to which performance parameters of water heater system are altered when the heat pump is integrated and to clarify the optimum values of system variables by means of an optimization procedure using reliable experimental data. Considering compressor speed, air flow over evaporator as variables, experiments for both conventional electrical resistance and proposed heat pump integrated water heater for household appliances were conducted. Energy consum...
Numerical methodology for feasibility analysis of ground source heat pumps Gamage, Kumudu Janani; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2014-8) Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems provide an alternative energy source for residential and commercial space heating and cooling applications by utilizing the favorable temperature profile at a certain depth under the ground surface. GSHP’s aftereffects on the ground temperature profile need to be considered for estimating the economical breakeven point. The present study develops a new semi-analytical model to analyze the short term response of the ground heat exchangers by accounting the depth depende...
Modeling and computational simulation of adsorption based chemical heat pumps Yurtsever, Ahmet Onur; Karakaş, Gürkan; Uludağ, Yusuf (2013-01-10) In this study a methodology is developed for the design of a packed bed reactor to be used in a Chemical Heat Pump (CHP). Adsorption and desorption of ethanol on active carbon packing in the reactor are investigated. Depending on the cycle, i.e. adsorption or desorption, cooling or heating of the reactor material is modeled through transient energy equation. The parameters associated with the vapor-carbon adsorption kinetics are experimentally determined. Then spatial distribution of temperature and adsorbe...
Exergetic optimization of generated electric power split in a heat pump coupled poly-generation system Kilkis, Birol I.; Kılkış, Şiir (2007-01-01) This study analyzes environmental, energy, and economical benefits of a ground source heat pump, coupled poly-generation system by incorporating exergy into the energy efficiency analysis. Two additional terms, namely the rational exergy efficiency and the coefficient of performance were introduced to the primary energy savings equation in the European Union Directive 2004/8/EC. Based on the new equation, an optimization algorithm was developed, which can quantify the environmental, energy and economy benef...
Comparison of Dynamic PTC Thermal Models Using Semi-Analytical and Finite Volume Methods Bayer, Özgür (2018-05-01) Resource potential estimation of concentrating solar power (CSP) applications with parabolic through collectors (PTC) needs to address time-dependent heat transfer fluid (HTF) temperature at collector field's outlet. HTF temperature distribution depends on several time-dependent variables; i.e., HTF temperature at PTC inlet, direct beam radiation, HTF flow rate and its properties, and PTC parameters, i.e., overall heat transfer coefficient. The present paper develops a time-dependent one-dimensional thermal...
