Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heat pump water heater is a device that works much like a window air conditioner except that heat from the home is pumped into a water tank rather than to the outdoors. The objective established for the device is to operate with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 3 or, an input of one unit of electric energy would create three units of heat energy in the form of hot water. With such a COP, the device would use only one-third the energy and at one-third the cost of a standard resistance water heater. This Volume 2 contains the final reports of the three major tasks performed in Phase I. In Task 2, a market study identifies the future market and selects an initial target market and channel of distribution, all based on an analysis of the parameters affecting feasibility of the device and the factors that will affect its market acceptance. In the Task 3 report, the results of a design and test program to arrive at final designs of heat pumps for both new water heaters and for retrofitting existing water heaters are presented. In the Task 4 report, a plan for an extensive field demonstration involving use in actual homes is presented. Volume 1 contains a final summary report of the information in Volume 2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An electric heat pump water heater with an operating efficiency, E/sub R/, of 2.5 in average conditions of 70 to 75°F ambient air and 55 to 60°F supply water has been designed. With losses taken into account, the coefficient of performance (COP) is 2.8 or within 10% of the design objective. Separate heat pump designs are available for new water heaters and for retrofitting of existing ones. For both models, the compressor, evaporator, fan and controls are mounted in a round cabinet set on top of the water heater. The condenser is a dual tube direct immersion type which enters the tank through a special 4-in. hole in the top of new tanks. For retrofit units, the condenser is in the form of a helix and is screwed into the tank through the hole normally used by the lower resistance element. Early estimates for the cost of the device are between $200 to $250 more than for an electric resistance water heater. Using this estimate, the payback for many applications will be between one and two years with some being less than one year. The payback period is dependent on the amount of hot water consumption and the price of electricity. In warm climates, the benefit/cost ratio will be improved by higher efficiency from warmer ambient air and by the value of free air conditioning and dehumidification provided while the unit is operating. In colder climates, the improved efficiency from colder supply water and the higher operating savings from higher kilowatt-hour use because of the colder water tend to offset the effect of the less favorable climate. A field demonstration of one hundred water heater heat pumps is planned in which each of 20 utilities will purchase, install and service five units, and install, service and monitor instrumentation packages supplied by DOE. This project will deterine the annual COP of each unit and its impact on the heating and cooling load of the house.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For gas-fired residential water heating, the U.S. and Canada is predominantly supplied by minimum efficiency storage water heaters with Energy Factors (EF) in the range of 0.59 to 0.62. Higher efficiency and higher cost ($700 - $2,000) options serve about 15% of the market, but still have EFs below 1.0, ranging from 0.65 to 0.95. To develop a new class of water heating products that exceeds the traditional limit of thermal efficiency, the project team designed and demonstrated a packaged water heater driven by a gas-fired ammonia-water absorption heat pump. This gas-fired heat pump water heater can achieve EFs of 1.3 or higher, at a consumer cost of $2,000 or less. Led by Stone Mountain Technologies Inc. (SMTI), with support from A.O. Smith, the Gas Technology Institute (GTI), and Georgia Tech, the cross-functional team completed research and development tasks including cycle modeling, breadboard evaluation of two cycles and two heat exchanger classes, heat pump/storage tank integration, compact solution pump development, combustion system specification, and evaluation of packaged prototype GHPWHs. The heat pump system extracts low grade heat from the ambient air and produces high grade heat suitable for heating water in a storage tank for domestic use. Product features that include conventional installation practices, standard footprint and reasonable economic payback, position the technology to gain significant market penetration, resulting in a large reduction of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from domestic hot water production.
