Performance and Evaluation of Concepts and Devices for Heat Reclamation from Air Conditioners, Heat Pumps, and Refrigeration Equipment.

Abstract

A heat recovery system is described which uses air conditioner or heat pump waste heat for domestic water heating. Current commercial units and field test data are detailed with economic guidelines to aid in choice of a unit. This report enables the reader to determine the cost effectiveness of having such a unit installed. Safety, product warranty, and city and state coding restrictions are discussed. The current and future testing and demonstration plans are cited for the unit. (Author)
