A large house uses an air-source heat pump for air conditioning in the summer. To keep cool in the middle of the day, 12 kW of heat need to be removed from the house. The thermostat inside the house is set to 20°C, and the outdoors (where heat is rejected) is at a temperature of 34°C. The heat pump is rated by the manufacturer as having a COP of 24. (d) Calculate the rate of heat rejected into the air (kW) for the quoted COP = 24. ?rejected (e) What is the theoretical maximum cooling COP for this heat pump? Use your answer in part (b) for guidance. =
