Heat pump problem, help please?

Filed Under HVAC 

Xar asked:

A heat pump on a house operates with a COP that is 35% of the theoretical maximum, between exterior and interior temperatures of −12°C and 34°C. How much work must be done on the heat engine to supply 2200 J of heat to the interior of the house? (in J)

Thus far, my two responses of 5.1E3 J and 4.2E4 J has been incorrect :(. Can anyone help ?

      r = COP = 0.35*(1 - 261/307) = 0.0524
      W = r Q1 = Q1 - Q2
      W = r Q2/(1-r) = 121.7 J

      The theoretical maximum efficiency [t1 t2] t1 [34 12] 261 01762 006169 006169 35662j heat to be supplied is 35662j heat to 2200 corresponds.
