Structure and principle of heat pump water heater

**Working Principle** The device uses a heat-absorbing medium, typically a refrigerant, to collect heat from the surrounding air or natural environment. This heat is then transferred through a heat exchanger, allowing cold water to be heated quickly while releasing cool air as a byproduct. Unlike traditional solar products that struggle on cloudy days or at night, this system can operate efficiently even when the outside temperature is above -15°C, making it a reliable and energy-efficient solution that doesn’t require open space. The unit operates based on a heat pump cycle, which consists of two main components: the host and the condenser. The host includes an evaporator, fan, compressor, and expansion valve, while the condenser contains a coil where heat is released into the water tank. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the ambient air in the evaporator, becomes pressurized, and then releases its heat through the condensing coil, transferring warmth to the water inside the insulated tank. The water tank is insulated with materials like closed-cell rubber sponge or polyurethane foam, ensuring minimal heat loss. The refrigerant used has a low boiling point, often below -20°C, allowing it to absorb heat even in cold conditions. As it evaporates in the evaporator, it is compressed and condensed in the condenser, transferring heat to the water. Electricity is only used to power the compressor and other components, not for direct heating, which significantly reduces energy consumption. For example, producing one ton of hot water may use about 5-6 kWh in summer and up to 20-25 kWh in winter, averaging around 15 kWh annually. **Key Features** This system can draw heat from various sources, including sunlight, rain, and air. It works day or night, regardless of weather conditions, making it ideal for all seasons. It can be installed anywhere—on rooftops, in basements, or in hidden corners—without affecting the building’s aesthetics. Its compact design makes installation simple and flexible, and it can operate automatically with temperature control. It’s suitable for a wide range of applications, such as hotels, schools, hospitals, swimming pools, and homes. It can be used independently or integrated with existing systems, and it also supports air-conditioning functions, offering a versatile and customizable solution. The unit features CFC-free insulation with just 2% heat loss, providing longer-lasting hot water and higher thermal efficiency than conventional solar systems. It uses non-toxic refrigerants, produces no emissions or wastewater, and is completely safe and environmentally friendly. There are no gas or electric tanks involved, eliminating risks associated with combustion or electrical hazards. Compared to fuel, gas, or electric heaters, this system can reduce operating costs by at least 75%, making it a cost-effective investment with quick return on investment. **Energy Efficiency and Benefits** The system uses low-temperature air as a heat source and consumes only 1/3 to 1/4 of the energy required by a standard electric water heater. Compared to coal, oil, or gas units, it cuts operating costs by up to 75%. It is eco-friendly, emitting no pollutants or greenhouse gases, and is safe, reliable, and long-lasting with minimal maintenance. With intelligent automation and user-friendly operation, it offers comfort and convenience for both residential and commercial use.
