Thermally Assisted High Temperature Heat Pump
Abstract
Air to water heat pumps have been introduced for residential and commercial use in the last several years. These systems use air as the thermal resource to heat water to temperatures as high as 160degrees Fahrenheit (160F). The warmer the air entering the heat pump, the more productive and efficient it becomes at heating water with a minimal increase in electricity use. When simultaneous delivery of cool exhaust air with hot water is accomplished, with no added electricity use, compared to just water heating, the performance of the system can produce up to 5+ times the heating and cooling energy of the electricity consumed.
