OSTI ID:6094517
An air-to-water-to-air heat pump system is described for heating and cooling the interior of a residence comprising the combination of: a first refrigerant-to-fluid exchanger having separate refrigerant and fluid paths therein in heat exchange relationship; a second refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger having separate refrigerant and water paths therein in heat exchange relationship; a refrigerant circuit including a refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger located outside of the residence and having a refrigerant path in heat exchange relationship with ambient air; a refrigerant compressor, an expansion device and a four-port reversing valve means; first conduit means for connecting the refrigerant path of the refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, the expansion device and the refrigerant path of the first refrigerant-to-fluid heat exchanger in series relationship between first and second parts of the reversing valve; and second conduit means for connecting the compressor and the refrigerant path of the second refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger in series relationship between third and fourth ports of the reversing valve; a first fluid circuit including a fluid-to-air heat exchanger and a first fluid storage means; and third conduit means for connecting the fluid path of the first refrigerant-to-fluid heat exchanger, the first fluid storage means and the fluid path of the fluid-to-air heat exchanger in a closed loop series path; and a water circuit including a second fluid storage means comprising a water storage tank; fourth conduit means for connecting the second tank and the water path of the second refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger in series relationship.
