Study and sensitivity analysis of the performance of a high-temperature heat pump: comparison of theoretical model and experimental data

To achieve the decarbonization goals set in the fight against climate change, the heat pump is one of the most interesting solutions. More precisely, the high-temperature heat pump under study is able to generate a double useful effect: cold side satisfies the load required by a pharmaceutical industry, hot side the load required for district heating. The thesis involves the creation of a theoretical model capable of predicting the behavior of the machine, and once the experimental measurements of the real machine are known, a sensitivity analysis is performed on the parameters assumed during the sizing of the heat pump.
