    Situation-dependent economics?
    空气源热泵热水器(HPWH)将冷却其周围的空气。这对普通人在冷却主导的气候中可能是良好的,而是其他地方的真正问题。

    冬天供暖的气候,假设水heater is indoors, the heat ending up in the water will be partly the compressor work (source: electricity) and partly heat from inside the house (source: the house's heating system). One could argue that in this situation the heat source might just as well be the fuel that drives the heating system.

    在一个超然的房子里,除了在房子提供一些热量的冬季外,HPWH将过度冷却周边地区。如果必须通过加热系统重新加热该区域以减轻寒意,那么收益在哪里?

    那么,它似乎是HPWH的任何优势非常依赖房屋的建筑和位置(气候)。

    Limited use product
    I agree with Richard's assessment. After a long discussion with the rep at Greenbuild it became clear that they only reach their peak efficiency in moderate to hot climates in unconditioned spaces. The rep said that they see a big part of their market in retrofits for existing water heaters that are in garages. It seems to me like a useful product for limited applications. It certainly isn't anything earth shattering. I see it as sort of a band aid that you can use on only one part of your body rather than a long term solution to any specific problem.

    41 million households...
    Carl,

    这些不受限制的产品。4100万户(2001年)使用电力作为热水器燃料,占1000亿kWh或所有家庭电力使用的9%(http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html.)

    几乎所有使用电力用于热水的家庭也使用电力来加热/冷却,无论是通过热泵还是电阻热。我很肯定大多数这些家庭都在东南,南和西南。

    大多数电热水器具有0.90或0.91的能量因子(EF)。最糟糕的是市场上的HPWH(RHEEM)的EF为2.0(在68F环境温度下)。是的,位于调节空间的HPWH将在加热季节中“抢夺”一些热量的空间,但它们会在冷却季节期间冷却(和除湿)空间。

    在我的气候(弗吉尼亚州中部)的典型4人家庭用标准热泵(8.0 Hspf,13.0 Seer)和漏水管道(〜20%的管道损失),净利润(热水节能+冷却节能 -条件空间中的2.0EF HPWH的热能增加约2,000kWh。在亚特兰大,加热季节较短,冷却季节比弗吉尼亚州更长,净利润更接近2,500kWh。在迈阿密,没有加热季节和冷却季节非常长的季节,净利润接近4,000kWh。

    您可以为您所在地区进行能源成本节省的数学......对于我来说,它以最多约250美元/年的价格计算。对于1,000美元的产品应该持续15 - 20年的产品几乎没有笨蛋。

    Who uses electric water heaters?
    John,
    我不确定你是正确的,“几乎所有使用电力用于热水的家庭也使用电力进行加热/冷却。”在佛蒙特州,大多数居民无法获得天然气的地方,大多数人都有电热水器 - 因为电力不超过丙烷的价格超过丙烷(有时电力比丙烷便宜)。用电力,你不需要烟道。

    But Vermonters don't use electricity for space heat, as you imply. They generally use oil, supplemented by a wood stove.

    有限的使用
    关于它有限使用的观点是它仅在暖气中安装在无条件空间中时,它只能在热泵模式下工作。在有条件的空间,这是大多数良好的绿色建筑物的机械设备的地方,它将在寒冷的月份提供不必要的冷却,并且在热泵模式下不合适。在寒冷气候中,它不会比标准电加热器更有效。它看起来像一个很好的改装产品,用于温暖气候,其中它安装在条件空间外面。在Greenbuild,产品代表说,他们的主要市场正在更换炎热气候的车库中的旧单元。这似乎非常有限。

    并非所有这些限制
    Carl,我同意这些可能不是加热主导的气候的最佳解决方案,但我并不完全同意这是对其实用性的严重限制。也许我的分歧只是一个学位问题。中央空调没有必要有很多凉爽的气候,但A / C制造商似乎似乎是销售它们的生活。
    这些HPDHW单位看起来像生活在炎热气候混合的人的一个很好的选择,并为热水供应使用电力。当然,这是一个限制,但肯定不是致命的一个。很多人住在这些领域。
    此外,我不同意他们的最佳应用在信封之外。对于冷却主导的空间,这些单元将补充冷却,并且还可以进行除湿。这使得它们在温暖/潮湿气候中的室内安装非常好的候选人。
    我不确定他们是否是我气候(NJ)的最佳解决方案,我很确定如果你住在佛蒙特州,你就业。这是你在树林里生活的价格。

    即使在vt.
    How about a wood-fired heat pump water heater?

    所有你的回伍德斯佛蒙特州人可以用免费的碳中性堆燃料摧毁木制炉子,让HPDHW从空气中吸出热量并将其放入您的DHW中。我会让别人计算它的效率......

    它被称为热水线圈
    Jesse,
    所有你需要的是你的火箱中的一个不锈钢线圈,连接到楼上的衣柜里的铜管环到一个铜管。水通过热烃循环。没有电力。

    我已经使用了15年了。他们工作得很好。无需购买热泵。

    Who uses electric water heaters?
    马丁,

    Alas, I haven't been able to track down the number of households that use electricity for both space heating and water heating. The best I could find was that 41 million households use it for water heating, 31 million use it for their main space heating (with an additional 13 million that use it for supplemental space heating). In addition, there were 58 million households with central cooling. What's the percentage of crossover?...you're right, it's not "nearly all" as I claimed in my first post, but it has to be significant...20 million, perhaps, with electric heat and hot water? My main point (to Carl) is that this is not a limited market.

    在我的地区(特拉华州,佛罗里达州,格鲁吉亚,马里兰州,北卡罗来纳州,南卡罗来纳州,弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州和哥伦比亚西弗吉尼亚(哥伦比亚),从eia切片的方式),1300万户户用电,电动电量1100万加热和1600万,中央冷却。

    热泵热水器的适用性
    我和约翰在这场辩论中。在寒冷气候中,大多数人从昂贵的源比电阻热量获得源的热量。但即使它们每年用电阻加热,我猜测Reeg HPWH将能够以超过一半的全年运行,甚至它甚至是抢劫电阻的热量在此期间,将其有效的EF降至1.0的空间(最坏情况),最终将超过标准电热水器的50%以上。

    我想在10或20年内,当几乎所有电热水器都是热泵型号时,我们将扼杀这场辩论。

    Here's a link to a more in-depth article I wrote in Environmental Building News (companion publication to GreenBuildingAdvisor):http://www.buildinggreen.com/auth/article.cfm/2009/9/25/Heat-Pump-Water-Heaters-Ready-for-Prime-Time/还如果有人想读到那个并且没有密码,请发电子邮件,我可以提供将提供对文章的链接七天:[电子邮件受保护].

    热泵热水器
    亚历克斯威尔逊is on the right track. Even in coastal Maine we have an issue with high humidity during the non-heating season, all two months of it. The dehumidification aspect is a compelling one when coupled with a decent COP.

    HPWH与太阳预热
    I'd like to get your opinions on using one of these as the backup to a solar thermal system. I have a single collector solar system on our house. We have a less than ideal solar site but our system performs very well in the summer. The output drops off greatly in the wintertime. I have been thinking of trying one of these out in our house to be the backup to the solar. The water heater is in our currently unconditioned basement but I will eventually finish this space off. Any thoughts on how one of these units would work in conjunction with solar thermal? I can also see a potential benefit to these in basements that require dehumidification, as many do here in North Carolina. I have to run a dehumidifier in our basement all summer, a 500 watt load running for 8 to 12 hours per day. Wouldn't one of these, not only double the efficiency of our water heater but also eliminate the additional dehumidifier load?

    Hi Travis
    The issue with these things is that they move BTUs from hot air to cold water, so in a situation where the solar is not producing enough because it's winter the heat pump water heater would also be at a disadvantage. I'd go with one of the new condensing LPG or NG Rinnai RC98HPi-P or Quietside water heaters for that application.

    Basement install
    我的热水器目前在地下室,我看着其中一个移动我的热水器20-30英尺更靠近我的用水,目前我有天然气热水器(烟囱和浴室位于相对的侧面)。我认为这将是理想的,因为我的进入水是40F,并将其提升到60-65中,地下室停留在它自己应该是​​一个非常大的节省。在夏天,似乎你可以进出热交换器外面的空气,以获得最大的节省。
