摘要
The recovery of condenser heat in air conditioners is attractive because of its great economy and environmental value. This work experimentally studies a modified air conditioner with a domestic hot water supply (ACDHWS) that operates in the space-cooling and water-heating mode. The working principles and the basic features of the ACDHWS are introduced in this paper. This is followed by an experimental study on dynamic operation characteristics, hot water supply performance, energy efficiency and the temperature distribution of hot water in the storage tank of the unit. The results show that the ACDHWS can reliably be used to heat domestic hot water without losing its cooling capacity when it is controlled well in different operation conditions. Comparatively, the coefficient of comprehensive energy performance (COP,) of the ACDHWS is about 38.6% higher than that of the original unit. Furthermore, it is proved that the ACDHWS can continuously supply hot water for householders if a suitable hot water storage tank is installed. All these may be much helpful to develop a perfect ACDHWS product. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
