Résumé

Heat pump water heater (HPWH) offers great potential to reduce energy consumption in water heating applications. But its performance enhancement and/or initial cost deduction are the main challenges to promote market penetration. In this paper, a heat transfer improvement technology, i.e., liquid-separation condensation (LSC), is implemented to HPWH and screen to achieve the maximized COP (E-HPWH) or reduced condenser area (R-HPWH). A model of HPWH with LSC is developed and validated, and its predictions are in good agreements with tested results from the baseline (B-HPWH) with an average deviation of 4.92 % at most. By using this validated model, E-HPWH and R-HPWH are obtained by adjusting the path arrangement and separation efficiencies. With the same heat transfer area, the COP of E-HPWH reaches 4.48, which is 7.43 % higher than that of B-HPWH, and the heating time is shortened by 13.1 %. With the same COP of B-HPWH being 4.17, the heat transfer area of R-HPWH is reduced by 22.2 % and heating time is shortened by 4.1 %. Then transient heating-up process of three HPWHs are comparatively investigated. Results indicate that E-HPWH has the highest compressor power as well as pressures and temperatures at the inlets of condenser and evaporator, followed by R-HPWH and B-HPWH. E-HPWH and R-HPWH overperform B-HPWH in terms of heat capacity before 4220s, due to the increased mass flowrate. Compared to B-HPWH, E-HPWH and R-HPWH have averagely 15.02 % and 7.29 % higher COP before 2790s and 1860s, respectively. Their states are less differentiated as the water temperature increases.
