Temperature Rise in Heat Pump

03/31/2009 2:26 PM

Can anyone explain in a simple language what actually is a TEMERATURE RISE in the heat pump? How to measure it and what are the symptoms for the homeowner to look or to experience when the temperaure rise is low? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's the difference in temperature of the heat transfer fluid [HTF] between the point it starts its journey down the pick-up coil and its return. Any simple thermometer will measure it. If the temperature rise is low, then transfer into the building will also be low. "Cor, it's a bit chilly today" is the sort of experience the home owner will have.

Thanks PWSlack for your response. I am starting to understand the problem. Would temperature rise be affected by the CFM of the system and how?

lower cfm - more heat but not at the designed static pressure.

Kinda' the living room is nice and hot but the room is chilly down the hallway.
