This paper examines the system installed at the Waipio Spa Health and Fitness Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was designed to recover all of the waste heat from the 25-ton air conditioner in the form of 130 F to 140 F hot water. This water was to be used directly for the showers, and through a heat exchanger, to heat the whirlpool bath. The rooftop package unit had three hermetic compressors in separate circuits, operating on R-22. No other source of energy is supplied to the building and avoided cost is calculated on the price of electricity. A detailed step-by-step explanation of the system's operation is presented in this paper.
