Total Heat of Rejection - Short #152
In this short podcast, Bryan talks about THOR, total heat of rejection. He explains what it is and why we should care about it when working on HVAC/R systems. THOR is another aspect of pressure-enthalpy calculations, along with net refrigeration effect (NRE) and total heat of compression.
When we talk about system capacity, we're often referring to heat absorbed in the evaporator coil (NRE). Heating is on the opposite side of the coin; when we bring heat into a home, we care more about how much heat is rejected than absorbed. That's where THOR comes in.
More heat is rejected at the condenser…
