GOROZABEL-CHATA, Francis-B.  and  CARBONELL-MORALES, Tania. Current and future perspectives of direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.1, pp.49-58. ISSN 1815-5944.

Direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps have been used in the heating mode for several applications among them we may cite, water heating, heating space for building, water desalination system, solar drying, amongst other. The present work review the most important research about this technology approaching their applications for water heating, to reach this goal the basic and advanced configuration model are describe in details with the purpose of characterize the coefficient of thermal performance; is relevant too, analyze this technology according to the second law of thermodynamics to point out slow performance in the components of the system. This review rightly point out to develop this technology for heating water in a 60-90 °C range, ideally suited for industrial applications.

Keywords : Heat pump; solar assisted; direct expansion; high temperatura applications.
