2. Product presentation Polaris series air to water heat pump is the special design for the cold climate or demand hot water place. It can satisfy house warming in cold climate or commercial heating, cooling and hot water that different kinds of demand.
3. Nomenclature Polaris series Electric auxiliary (option) Water Approx horse power Indoor (F)/outdoor unit (W) Cooling and heating Water(S)/refrigerant(X) ADTHERM product 4. Principle The vapor-injected scroll compressor cycle is similar to two-stage cycle with interstage cooling, but accomplished with a single compressor as shown in Figure 1. The high stage is accomplished by extracting a portion of the condenser liquid and expanding it through an expansion valve into a counter flow brazed-plate heat exchanger acting as a subcooler.
Subcooling in heat exchanger Figure 1-Vapour-injected scroll compressor cycle 5. Features EVI compressor systems benefit over standard refrigeration compressor systems of equivalent capacity due to the following: u Capacity Improvement Since the added capacity achieved by enhanced subcooling provides higher enthalpy gain across the evaporator, the compressor displacement required can be reduced by the percentage enthalpy gain for the same evaporator capacity.
