HANOI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (HUST) Energy consumption to produce hot water

HANOI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (HUST) Current solutions to save energy in hot water production  Using solar collector: “zero” energy consumption but strongly influenced by weather condition.  Using hot water heat pump (HWHP): low energy consumption (about 1/3 of resistant element water heater) but required regularly maintenance.  Using both solar collector and HWHP: working non-influenced by weather, almost “zero” energy consumption, requirement of regularly maintenance will be reduced but required high initial cost.

HANOI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (HUST) Solar collector and Heat pump Combination System - SHCS  Main ideas of SHCS project: ◦ Reduce the heating capacity (so reduce the initial cost) of the HWHP by increasing the volume of the hot water storage tank. ◦ Develop an intelligent controller that can automatically operate the HWHP based on the amount of hot water required by the load in “future”. Currently, the HWHP controller works based on the “set temperature” only . ◦ Develop a design tool (dynamic simulation basic) which can determine the heating capacity of the HWHP from weather data analysis and the pattern of hot water load.

HANOI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (HUST) Conclusions  Method proposed for saving energy in hot water production in residential and hotel sectors can provide hot water with very low energy consumption.  This method can be implemented with reasonable initial cost by reducing the heating capacity of Hot Water Heat Pump (HWHP) down to 20.4% and 34.7% for residential and hotel sectors, respectively.  Require further study to verify the HW supplying capability as well as to determine the payback period of this method with various applications.
