Experimental Study on Domestic Heat Pump Water Heater with Waste Heat Recovery
To recover waste heat from household bath wastewater and improve energy efficiency
a heat pump water heater with waste heat recovery was designed. Experimental benches were set up for experimental studies. The experiment was carried out with an inlet water temperature of 16 °C and an outlet water temperature of 36–46 °C to study the effects of changing parameters
such as the refrigerant charge amount
water output
heating capacity
and heating coefficient of performance (COP). The experimental results show that increasing the refrigerant charge benefits the heating and heating COP stability. However
the maximum heating capacity is 7.9 kW
and the heating COP is 7.7 at the minimum refrigerant charge. For the outlet water temperature of 36–46 °C
the device can effectively recover the heat in the waste water
the heating output is stable at approximately 7.5 kW
