Abstract: The joint processes of bubble boiling and refrigerant movement in heat pump tubes are considered. A coil located on the back side of the photovoltaic panel (PVP) is used as an additional heating surface. A mathematical model of the theoretical determination of the temperature on the front surface of the PVP cooled by freon in the coil from the back side has been created. A feature of the numerical simulation of bubble boiling of refrigerant in a coil was the insufficiently detailed study of the process and the lack of references to the results obtained in earlier work. The authors have clarified the boundary conditions and assumptions for numerical simulation of the bubble boiling process of refrigerant R407C. The results were compared with the theoretically found values, and later used in the design of an energy complex consisting of a heat pump and a photovoltaic panel. The mathematical model of theoretical calculation of the PVP temperature and the methodology for constructing a numerical model of bubble boiling of refrigerant as part of the methodology for designing energy technology complexes based on the authors’ plan to present a unified methodology for energy technology complexes for desalination of seawater based on other types of renewable energy sources.
