Water-to-water heat pumps: using waste heat for energy savings.

Author(s) : TEMOS E.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

Many large commercial, institutional, industrial facilities need hot water in the range of 46 to 77°C for domestic hot water or hydronic heating. This range usually is generated by fossil fuel water heaters. Simultaneous to producing this heat, the air-conditioning system rejects low-temperature heat. One method to make productive use of this waste heat is to use water-to-water heat pumps. They offer significant energy savings and reasonable return on investments.
