Question

The coefficient of performance (COP) of a refrigerator working between temperature, T₁ and T₂, is 2.41. The COP of heat pump working between same two temperature, T₁ and T₂ is:
1. 3.41
2. 0.41
3. 2.41
4. 1.41

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3.41

Concept:

COP of Heat Pump = COP of Refrigerator + 1

Provided both heat pump and refrigerator are working between the same temperature limit.

Calculation:

Given:

COP of Refrigerator = 2.41

COP of Heat Pump = COP of Refrigerator + 1

COP of Heat Pump = 2.41 + 1 = 3.41
