- Explain the refrigerant loop of a closed-loop, geothermalheat pump system.arrow_forward11. Five large hotels in Miami, USA, use their own air-conditioning units, which have a c.o.p. 3.1. It is proposed that the cooling systems of the five hotels be substituted with a larger, modern unit that would have a c.o.p. 3.7. The total installed capacity of the five hotels is 2,600 tons of air-conditioning and the current systems are in use for 3,200 hours every year. Determine: a) the annual energy savings from this substitution and b) the annual avoidance of CO₂ emissions if, currently, 72% of the electric energy in the Miami area is obtained from coal power plants and 28% from nuclear power plants.arrow_forward01.
