An experimental study on an air-conditioning water heater system.

Author(s) : LIU F., ZHUANG R., CHEN B.

Summary

The working principles and the basic features of a domestic air-conditioning water heater system are introduced in the paper. Comparatively, the system can provide much better energy performance and higher equipment utilization throughout a year, causes less thermal pollution than the heat-pump water heater and the domestic air conditioner. A prototype model of this system was assembled and its operation performance was tested. The results indicated that the new system could save energy through multi-duties, and it can work stably under several working modes with high efficiency. Compared with other system models, the new system also includes air-conditioning units and water heater unit, but with fewer components and better reliability. Based on a common air conditioner, this system can offer a practicable solution coupling domestic air conditioner and water heater parts. It must be changing the markets of both air-conditioning and water heater equipment.
