GOROZABEL-CHATA, Francis B.  and  CARBONELL-MORALES, Tania. Design and analysis of experiments applied to direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.3, pp.160-168. ISSN 1815-5944.

Direct expansion solar assisted heat pump is an energy conversion systemused 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 main analysis and design of experiments with the goal of identify the fundamentals objectives of any experimental design which it may be: determining which factors affect significantly the response, obtain a mathematical model and/or optimizing a response.To reach this task, the basic and advanced configuration model of this systemare describing in details with the purpose of characterize the thermal performance of the system, the types of thermal performance analyses used are the coefficient of performance analysis and the energy-exergy efficiency analysis. This review rightly point out to identify potential area of further investigation that allow researchers develop this technology for heating water for industrial applications.

Keywords : heat pump; solar assisted; direct expansion; exergy analysis; experimental design.
