Water to air heat pump employing an energy and condensate conservation system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7355489
A water-to-air heat pump is described comprising a first heat exchanger including a coil and means for passing air over that coil; a second heat exchanger including a coil and a jacket enclosing coil, the jacket having an inlet for receiving water from an external source and an outlet for discharging the water back to the source, the water being continuously circulated through said jacket and over the coil; conduit means for circulating a heat exchange fluid between the coils. The first heat exchanger is adapted to act as an evaporator and evaporate the fluid and cool the air, and the second heat exchanger adapted to act as a condenser and condense the fluid. A means for collecting the condensate from the air at the first heat exchanger, and a means for passing the condensate to the jacket for mixing with the water and circulating over the coil associated with the second heat exchanger are provided.
