build own heat pump

[aidank]

hi all,

new here but very interested in heat pumps (mechanical enginereing masters from college) anyone ever built their own, would love to see the calculations around it, and whether it actually worked out efficient or not, information is scant enough on the web about such things

I'm from Belgium, I give information for free and that's why this forum was set up: share common information between each other...for free.

Do you mean by "heat-pump" to reversible cooling/heating or only heating?

[aidank]

heat pump as in heating pump, pump heat from cold area to area to be heated, not interested in the air-con side not warm enough in Ireland to interest anyone, anyway anyone with any info feel free to share
