Heat pump water heater was designed and a prototype was developed and constructed. The performance of the heat pump water heater prototype is described by presenting some experimental test data. The experimental measurements include temperature, flow rates, and power consumption. The testing procedure consisted of evaluating the recovery rate and the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system. The results strongly indicate that heat pump water heater system design is very practical and it provides the consumer with a more efficient hot water heater alternative.

A household dual source heat pump water heater is proposed to utilize the energy of wastewater and air heat in a bathroom. The heat pump system integrates a wastewater source heat pump (WSHP), air source heat pump (ASHP), and a preheater. This aims at energy saving through recovering the heat of wastewater and ventilation air during the bathing process. The experiment was conducted to verify the feasibility of a dual heat source heat pump water heater system in a bath unit. It is found that the system can achieve an average coefficient of performance (COP) of 4.80 and 4.38 with and without preheater, respectively. At a bath water temperature of 40 °C, a flow rate of 6 L/min, and a room temperature of 26.5 °C, the COP of system can reach 6.08, which shows a significantly promising method for energy saving in-house.
