- Match the terms with the correct definition.
| Definition | Key Term |
|---|---|
| 1) ____ A heat pump HVAC system that uses a building’s ductwork to deliver heating and cooling. | a) Coefficient of Performance (COP) |
| 2) ____ A heat pump’s maximum heating capacity when the outdoor temperature is 5 °F. | b) Cold Climate Heat Pump |
| 3) ____ The outdoor temperature above which a location stays for 99% of all the hours in a year, based on a standard statistical weather profile. | c) Design Heating Capacity |
| 4) ____ A heat pump HVAC system that can have two or more indoor coils connected to one outdoor condenser, allowing for the heating or cooling of multiple rooms, hallways, and open spaces. | d) Design Heating Load |
| 5) ____ A measure of a heat pump’s heating efficiency, taken over an average heating season of the total heat provided to the conditioned space, expressed in Btu, divided by the total electrical energy consumed by the heat pump system, expressed in watt-hours. | e) Ducted Heat Pump |
| 6) ____ The heating need that a heat pump must match at the target minimum winter temperature (in Btu/hr). | f) Ductless Heat Pump |
| 7) ____ A heat pump that is designed to provide efficient heating in cold climates. | g) Heating Capacity at 5 °F |
| 8) ____ The nominal output of a heat pump at 47 °F outdoor air temperature (in Btu/hr) as determined through equipment tests. | h) Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) |
| 9) ____ A heat pump HVAC system that is designed for a single room with one outdoor condenser matched to one indoor head. | i) Minimum Capacity |
| 10) ____ A heat pump’s lowest possible output at a given temperature. | j) Multi-Zone System |
| 11) ____ A heat pump HVAC system that uses a direct connection between the outdoor unit’s condenser and multiple indoor units. | k) Rated Heating Capacity |
| 12) ____ A measure of a heat pump’s cooling efficiency, over an average cooling season of the total heat removed from the conditioned space, expressed in Btu, divided by the total electrical energy consumed by the heat pump, expressed in watt-hours. | l) Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) |
| 13) ____ The output of a heat pump at the equipment’s winter design temperature (in Btu/hr). | m) Single-Zone System |
| 14) ____ A measure of how efficiently a heat pump can operate. It is calculated by dividing the energy produced (as heat) by the energy put into the system (as electricity). | k) Winter Design Temperature |
