AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In heat pumps, fixed connections between components lead to vibration transfer and mechanical/thermodynamic instability, causing strain and requiring precise manufacturing to avoid constraints and internal stress.

Method used

Decoupling vibrations between components using a vibration influencer with elastic connection elements, such as flexible tubes or bushings, to reduce vibration and thermal transfer, allowing for flexible mounting and compensation of tolerances.

Benefits of technology

The heat pump operates in a stable mechanical and thermodynamic state with reduced vibration and temperature transfer between components, extending its lifespan and simplifying manufacturing by eliminating the need for precise mounting.

Abstract

What is described is a heat pump (100) comprising: an evaporator (10) for evaporating operating liquid to obtain operating vapour; a compressor (20) for compressing the operating vapour to obtain a compressed operating vapour; a condenser (30) for condensing the compressed operating vapour; a frame (40) to which the evaporator (10), the condenser (30) and / or the compressor (20) is / are mounted; and a vibration influencer (50) configured to decouple, in terms of vibration, the compressor (20) from the evaporator (10), from the condenser (30) and / or from the frame (40), and / to actively or passively reduce vibration of the compressor (20). Additionally, a method for operating a heat pump (100) and a method for manufacturing a heat pump (100) are described.
