A storage heat pump water heater (HPWH) comprises a vapor compression system and a hot water tank. It can lead to more than 70% energy saving, compared to electric resistance heating. HPWH usually uses a wrapped-tank coil as the water heater. The wrapped coil has a strong interaction with the water tank and impose a new challenge for the engineering design and simulation study. Based on the US DOE/ORNL Heat Pump Design Model (HPDM), a component-based thermal system modelling platform, a segment-to-segment wrapped-tank coil model and a one-dimensional stratified water tank model were developed, which facilitates modeling and design HPWHs having various configurations and components. In the paper, the new HPWH system design model was used to investigate effects of compressor size, refrigerant charge, water draw pattern, and refrigerant type, etc., for predicting 24-hour energy factors and first-hour rating. The HPWH system model was proved to be an effective equipment design tool.
