  1. E3 E3T Energy Efficiency Emerging Technologies Advanced Heat Pump Water Heater Research Emerging Technologies Showcase January 8, 2014 Ken Eklund, Building Science & Standards Team Lead WSU Energy Program Welcome. Today’s webinar is being recorded and will be posted at: • www.E3Tnw.org • www.ConduitNW.org

  2. Showcase Highlights • Current Research Project Description • Technology Overview • Laboratory Tests and Results • Field Installation and Research Plan • Project Timeline • Existing Projects • Contacts • Q&A E3 E3T Energy Efficiency Emerging Technologies

  3. Pacific Northwest CO 2 HPWH Research • Lab test of Sanden French manufactured unitary 40 gallon HPWH (sponsored by NEEA) • Lab test of Sanden Australian manufactured split 84 gallon HPWH (sponsored by BPA) • Field test of 84 gallon split begun with Tacoma Power on October 14 th (sponsored by BPA). Field tests in Montana, Portland and Spokane scheduled • Demand Response assessment of Sanden unitary and split systems currently underway (sponsored by BPA) E3T E3 Energy Efficiency Emerging Technologies 3

BPA Project Team Research Led by WSU Energy Program (TIP 292) Ken Eklund, Principal Investigator David Hales, Field Monitoring Installation Laboratory Test Ben Larson, Ecotope, Test Manager and Analyst Kumar Banerjee, Cascade Engineering, Lab Test Director Field Installation Mark Jerome, CLEAResult (formerly Fluid MS), System Installation Coordinator Funding Provided by BPA Kacie Bedney, Project Manager E3 E3T E3T E3 Energy Energy Efficiency Efficiency Emerging Technologies Emerging Technologies 4

  5. Project Overview • CO 2 refrigerant Heat Pump Water Heater manufactured by Sanden International • Lab test to DOE and Northern Climate Specification • Field test in partnership with: Avista Heating Zone 2 Energy Trust of Oregon Heating Zone 1 Ravalli Electric Coop Heating Zone 3 Tacoma Power Heating Zone 1 – One install in each territory. 12-18 month monitoring. • NEEA is also a contributing partner E3T E3T E3 E3 Energy Energy Efficiency Efficiency Emerging Technologies Emerging Technologies 5

  6. CO 2 Refrigerant Carbon dioxide operates as a refrigerant when in a supercritical state between gas and liquid. Advantages: • Operates effectively across a wide temperature range • Has a Global Warming Potential of 1 compared to 1,000 to 2,000 for HFCs Disadvantages: • Operates at 1,400 PSI, which is much higher than HFC systems • Is more expensive than HFC systems • Is not yet commercially available in most U.S. applications E3 E3T Energy Efficiency Emerging Technologies 6

  7. Comparison with other HPWH The CO 2 technology presented today is different from currently available HPWH: • It has a split system instead of unitary tank and compressor • It takes heat from the outside air instead of conditioned space or a buffer zone • It is more efficient than the HFC unitary systems E3 E3T E3T E3 Energy Energy Efficiency Efficiency Emerging Technologies Emerging Technologies 7

  9. Laboratory Outdoor unit in the controlled test Indoor tank instrumented in chamber. The fluid lines connecting laboratory this to the tank are filled with potable water. E3 E3T Energy Efficiency Emerging Technologies 9

  10. Quick Specifications Equipment currently built and sold in Australia • Outdoor Unit Model: GAU-A45HPA • Power Input: 240V, 15 A circuit • Tank Model: GAU-315EQTA • Storage Capacity: 315L (83.2 gallons) • Tank Set Point: 65°C (149°F) – not adjustable Outdoor unit has a variable frequency drive compressor and fan. Water is heated at the outdoor unit. A pump circulates water from the bottom of the tank, to the outdoor unit heat exchanger, heating the water in one pass, and re-injecting the hot water near the top of the tank. No resistance heating element E3T E3T E3 E3 Energy Energy Efficiency Efficiency Emerging Technologies Emerging Technologies 10

  16. Shower Test • Provides 7.5 showers of 8 min. at 120°F before outlet temperature drops. 4 3 5 7 • 6 We reduce hot 1 water flow to 2 compensate for higher stored temperature. This assumes a tempering valve will be used. Has the effect of increasing storage capacity and # showers delivered. Outlet drops below useful temperature E3T E3 Energy Efficiency Emerging Technologies 16
