Abstract
To maximize the recovery of heat energy from bathing wastewater, a two-series-connected bathing wastewater source heat pump hot water unit (SCBWSHP) with large temperature difference was proposed. Its rated design parameters are: the inlet and outlet temperatures of the bathing wastewater are 30 °C and 6 °C, respectively. The tap water inlet temperature is 10 °C, and the hot water outlet temperature is 45 °C. The effects of the mass flow rate of the tap water and the bathing wastewater on heating performance of the SCBWSHP were investigated experimentally. The results showed that the COP of the whole unit is 4.5 at the ratings. When the tap water mass flow rate increases from 600 to 900 kg/h, the whole unit COP increased by 18.7%, from 3.20 to 4.88. And the COP of the whole unit increases from 4.03 to 4.83 as the bathing wastewater mass flow rate rises from 600 to 1000 kg/h, increased by 16%.
