In this paper the system of air-source heat pump water heater(ASHPWH) using R134A to get 75°C hot water is proposed. The experiments on the performance of ASHPWH are conducted in two typical conditions, one for 7°C dry bulb temperature and 6°C wet bulb temperature, the other for 20°C dry bulb temperature and 15°C wet bulb temperature. In addition the variations of the suction temperature, the exhaust temperature, the suction pressure, the exhaust pressure, the transient heat capacity, the input power and COPs with the changing of the hot water tank temperature are analyzed. The results show that 75°C hot water can be produced steadily and the COPs are 2.84 and 3.68 respectively in two different conditions, therefore the ASHPWH has good energy saving effect.

Air Source Heat Pump

In South Africa, there is an ongoing constraint on the electricity supply at the national grid to meet the demand. Eskom is implementing various measures such as the Integrated Demand Management and the promotion and encouragement of the use of energy efficient devices like an Air Source Heat pump (ASHP) water heater to replace the high electrical energy consuming conventional geysers for sanitary hot water production. The ASHP water heater market is fast gaining maturity. A critical mathematical model can lead to performance optimization of the systems that will further result in the conservation of energy and significant reduction in global warming potential. The ASHP water heater comprises of an ASHP unit and a hot water storage tank. In this study, a data acquisition system (DAS) was designed and built which monitored the energy used by the geyser and the whole building, the temperature at the evaporator, condenser, tank outlet hot water, tank inlet cold water, the ambient temperature and relative humidity in the vicinity of the ASHP evaporator. It is also worthy to mention that the DAS also included to a flow meter and two additional temperature sensors that measured the volume of water heated and inlet and outlet water temperature of the ASHP. This work focused on using the mathematical equation for the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of an ideal Carnot’s heat pump (CHP) water heater to develop basic computation in M-file of MATLAB software in order to model the system based on two reservoir temperatures: evaporator temperatures (Tevp) of 0°C to 40°C (approximated to ambient temperature, Ta) and condenser temperatures (TCon) set at 50°C, 55°C and 60°C (approximated to the hot water set temperature of 50°C, 55°C and 60°C) respectively. Finally, an analytical comparison of a CHP water heater to the practical ASHP water heater was conducted on a hot water set point temperature of 55°C. From the modelling results, it can be deduced that at 0°C Tevp, the COP was 5.96 and 2.63 for CHP and ASHP water heater respectively, at a hot water set temperature of 55°C. Above 20°C Tevp, the rate of change of COP increased exponentially for the ideal CHP system, but was constant at 0.01/°C for the practically modelled ASHP water heater.

Water Tanks

The design of a new type of water tank for heat pump water heater is proposed. A movable baffle is set in the cylindrical water tank to prevent the mixture of hot and cold water in order to enable more hot water available for utilizing. The COP of the heat pump cycle increased due to the decrease of initial heating temperature, thus energy is saved. By numerical calculation, the performance of the new design is significantly better than previous water tanks. Comparing with the floating plate tank and common natural stratification tank, in the condition of water leaking 3% and Chrome-nickel steel wall, the available hot water efficiency of dual-tank with movable baffle is 40% and 50% higher and the energy consumption 12.3% and 13.9% lower. Moreover, little water leaking could increase the available hot water.

Collector Efficiency

Solar water heater cannot supply hot water in cloudy and raining days alone. It in combination with air source heat pump water heater (ASHPWH) is a good choice. The performance of the two kinds of water heater is affected by the water temperature. It is important that the ASHPWH operate at a right temperature of the water. A solar water heater with 4m2 flat-plate collector assisted by a 1.5kW ASHPWH is studied in this paper. The results show that both the collector efficiency of the solar water heater and the COP of the ASHPWH system decreases as the water temperature increases. The highest and lowest collector efficiency of the solar water heater are 54.4% and 45.6% respectively. The COP of the ASHPWH system ranges from 6.48 to 2.61 as the water temperature increases. Operating sequences of these two kinds of water heater affect solar energy utilization ratio and the power input of the ASHPWH system.

This research develops a detailed model for a Water to Water Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH), operating for heating and cooling simultaneously, using two water storage tanks as thermal deposits. The primary function of the system is to produce useful heat for domestic hot water services according to the thermal requirements for an average household (two adults and one child) in the city of Quito, Ecuador. The purpose of the project is to analyze the technical and economic feasibility of implementing thermal storage and heat pump technology to provide efficient thermal services and reduce energy consumption; as well as environmental impacts associated with conventional systems for residential water heating. An energy simulation using TRNSYS 17 is carried to evaluate model operation for one year. The purpose of the simulation is to assess and quantifies the performance, energy consumption and potential savings of integrating heat pump systems with thermal energy storage technology, as well as determines the main parameter affecting the efficiency of the system. Finally, a comparative analysis based on annual energy consumption for different ways to produce hot water is conducted. Five alternatives were examined: (1) electric storage water heater; (2) gas fired water heater; (3) solar water heater; (4) air source heat pump water heater; and (5) a heat pump water heater integrated with thermal storage.
