Heat pump system using thermobank and ejector has beendeveloped by CFD simulation and experimental investigation.
Using Ejector and Thermobank can save energy for heat pumpsystems, COP increases up to 38.5% (R404A) and 42.7%(R410A) .
This heat pump system can be used to keep preservation ofseafood in cold storage and floor heating panel to warm thelunar house in winter.
