There is a large potential in the heat loss from the urban wastewater. In all kinds of low-grade heat sources, urban wastewater is gradually widely used because of its advantages such as huge quantities, small variation of temperature, warm in winter and cool in summer, etc. By integrating a heat pump to utilize this heat, the wastewater source heat pump (WWSHP), which is a new water reuse and treatment strategy to tackle the water problems of China and to realize the sustainable development, recovers the heat of wastewater. The WWSHP air conditioning system as residential application can reduce the need of energy systems based on fossil fuel for cooling, heating, and hot water's supply purposes. The system's working principle, classification and the wastewater's characteristic parameters were discussed in this paper. And the scheme of using WWSHP system for central air-conditioning compared with other refrigerating and heating equipments was analyzed in detail. The investigation into COP (Coefficient of Performance) and PER (Primary Energy Ratio) was shown in this paper. Among the four kinds of common air conditioning units, when the loads are same respectively, the WWSHP has the most significant energy-saving effect. Furthermore, mechanism of heat transfer enhancement for falling-film evaporation and condensation surface of tubes packed with wire-mesh is also studied in detail. Theoretical simulation will be carried out for the heat transfer process and the flow of falling-film outside horizontal tubes. Improvement of controlling parameters influenced the evaporation and condensation performance, and then led to an increase in the refrigerating quantity and the COP. Consequently, this WWSHP system has its theoretical significance and promising engineering application potentials for the residential refrigerating and air-conditioning system using low-temperature waste heat source.

Aiming at increasing the energy-saving efficiency of salt solution evaporation, the effect of several factors on heat pump energy-saving efficiency is studied through theoretical analyses and calculation. The factors include boiling point elevation caused by solution static pressure, superheat loss of surface evaporation, temperature difference loss caused by fouling. The conclusions are that falling-film evaporator helps improve heat pump evaporation energy-saving the most and forms the fluctuating flow of the falling film which can be used to remove fouling automatically. The Φ38mm×2mm single-tube dynamics experiment results show that the flow can produce stable 3D vibration of the cleaning spiral when the nominal flow velocity is more than 0.25m/s. The axial reciprocating motion distance is longer than one spiral pitch and reciprocating periodicity is 3-6 seconds. The sodium carbonate solution fouling removal experiment results show that the salt fouling decreases the overall heat transfer coefficient by 30% in one hour when there is no the 3D vibrating spiral-insert; and the insert can enhance heat transfer by 59% comparing to that during stable operation without this technology.

The second phase of Weihai Baidu City project plans to become a three-star certificated program which is labled by China’s enviromental building evaluation. Heating and ventilated air conditioning program is one of the most important aspects in evaluation of energy saving. Feasibility study on GSHP, GWHP, air-source heat pump, seawater source heat pump were carried out, it’s confirmed that the most energy-saving and reliable way is that using municipal pipe networks for heating in winter and using split air conditioning or multi-connected air-conditioning system in summer. Summer air-conditioning adopts the new idea “part of time, part of space", representative the latest concept of energy efficiency in buildings in China.

Temperature and humidity independent control can be made by a new dry-type air-conditioning system, the combination of silica gel rotor and heat pump. Heat pump cycle can simultaneously cool the process air and heat the regeneration air, so it can cancel each other out in the cold and heat energy consumption within the system. This novel form of system not only solves the regeneration energy issues fundamentally but also avoids energy waste by reheating in conventional cooling dehumidification air-conditioning system. Based on the establishment of the component model, MATLAB program has been compiled to simulate the combined system running at nominal operating conditions and calculate the performance parameters and energy efficiency. Comparison of the energy efficiency was made of this dry-type air-conditioning system with ones of other regeneration desiccant wheel air conditioning system and conventional cooling dehumidification air-conditioning system, the results of which show that the new dry-type system provided regeneration energy, overcomes the restriction from climate, region and using conditions of other regeneration. Moreover, compared with conventional re-heat air-conditioning system, its energy saving is up to 35.1% and the energy efficiency is increased by 38.1%.
