Abstract:Heat pumps are a part of the environmentally friendly technologies using renewable energy and have been utilized in HVAC systems. A heat pump water heater unit with frozen type evaporator was designed and developed. And a test bed was constructed to determine the performance of the unit. In the experiment, a parallel helical coil type evaporator was used in the unit to extract latent heat from the sewage. The data (dynamic COP and other parameters) was obtained in three processes(including the first freezing, melting, and the second freezing) at different water temperatures (8.2 degrees C and 13.8 degrees C). Results show that compare with traditional water source heat pumps, the newly designed unit with the frozen evaporator can reduce the required water amounts as a heat source by more than 9O%. The higher initial temperature of hot water and sewage, the higher temperature of sewage after melting. Meanwhile, with the increase of the initial temperature of hot water and sewage, the comprehensive COP was greater. This paper will provide a reference for the sewage source heat pump system to extract the latent heat from the sewage. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
