Summary

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES A HEAT EXCHANGER IN WHICH WATER IS HEATED IN COUNTERFLOW WITH REFRIGERANT VAPOUR DISCHARGED FROM THE COMPRESSOR OF A COOLING SYSTEM. THE EXCHANGER IS MOUNTED SUCH THAT THE WATER FLOW IS PRODUCED BY A THERMAL SYPHONING EFFECT FROM A DOMESTIC USE HOT WATER STORAGE CYLINDER. THE EXCHANGER IS SIZED SO THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CONDENSER DUTY CAN BE UTILISED AND WATER IS FED TO THE TOP OF THE STORAGE CYLINDER AT THE WARMEST AVAILABLE TEMPERATURE PRODUCED FROM SUPERHEATED DISCHARGE VAPOUR.
