    Effect of Fin Spacing on Frost Growth and Airflow Dynamics in ASHP Evaporators

    Zhengqing Zhang1,2,3,*, Xiaojun Yuan2, Hui Wu2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.21, No.12, pp. 2927-2943, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2025.071115 - 31 December 2025

    Abstract Frost accumulation on the evaporator fins of air source heat pumps (ASHPs) severely degrades heat transfer performance and overall system efficiency. To address this, the present study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate how fin spacing influences frosting behavior, emphasizing the coupled evolution of frost thickness, density, airflow, and temperature distribution within fin channels. Results reveal that fin spacing is a key parameter governing both the extent and rate of frost growth. Wider fin spacing enhances frost accumulation, with a final frost mass of 6.41 g at 12 mm, about 71.8% higher than at More >

    Analysis of Power Quality Problems in Large-Scale Application of Air-Source Heat Pump

    Zhihao Zheng1, Yanbo Che1,*, Hailian Bi1, Dan Wu1, Wei He2

    Energy Engineering, Vol.119, No.2, pp. 637-651, 2022, DOI:10.32604/ee.2022.016661 - 24 January 2022

    Abstract With the implementation of electric energy alternatives, the large-scale application of electric energy substitution represented by air-source heat pumps has replaced traditional coal-fired heating, which is beneficial for the environment and alleviates air pollution. However, the large-scale application of air-source heat pumps has brought power quality problems such as voltage sags, harmonic pollution, and three-phase imbalance to the distribution network. This paper studies the fixed-frequency and variable-frequency air-source heat pump, introduces its working principle, analyzes the mechanism of its power quality problem. Moreover, the paper establishes a simulation model for the fixed-frequency heat pump and… More >
