Résumé

About 1.06 quads of energy are consumed in the U.S. alone in the production of commercial hot water. The primary energy efficiency is about 90% for gas heaters and 32% for electric. In both cases, high-quality, highly exergetic energy is directly converted one-for-one into very low quality energy, yielding very low second law efficiencies. A gas-fired hot water absorption heat pump has been developed, incorporating generator-absorber heat exchange (GAX) to deliver hot water at temperatures above 60 °C. With a gas COP of 1.54, one-third of the gas used for commercial water heating can be conserved. The heat pump also provides "free" cooling with evaporator temperatures as low as -10 °C. The projected payback to the typical commercial customer is about two years.
