Abstract

In this paper the system of air-source heat pump water heater(ASHPWH) using R134A to get 75°C hot water is proposed. The experiments on the performance of ASHPWH are conducted in two typical conditions, one for 7°C dry bulb temperature and 6°C wet bulb temperature, the other for 20°C dry bulb temperature and 15°C wet bulb temperature. In addition the variations of the suction temperature, the exhaust temperature, the suction pressure, the exhaust pressure, the transient heat capacity, the input power and COPs with the changing of the hot water tank temperature are analyzed. The results show that 75°C hot water can be produced steadily and the COPs are 2.84 and 3.68 respectively in two different conditions, therefore the ASHPWH has good energy saving effect.
