8. Ensure the power supply voltage and phase at the job site
matches the power requirements on the HPWH rating label
before installation begins. Energizing the HPWH with the
wrong voltage or phase will cause permanent damage to the
unit.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The appliances covered by this Instruction Manual are
commercial water-to-water heat pump water heaters (HPWH).
Operation of the HPWH is simple in the fact that we are
transferring heat energy from a water source to a DHW tank by
means of a compressed refrigeration cycle. Recovering and
using this waste heat increases the overall energy
efficiency of the building.
THE REFRIGERATION CYCLE
Refer to Figure 1 on page 1
2
for the location of
components mentioned in this section.
Refrigerant is circulated through the refrigeration circuit by a
Compressor
.
The refrigerant is a high temperature high
pressure gas when it leaves the compressor. Refrigerant
flows from the compressor through the
Hot Gas Line
to the
Condenser
.
The condenser is a refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger with two
circuits, refrigerant flows through one circuit and water through
the other. The high temperature refrigerant gas transfers its heat
to the water flowing through the condenser. As the refrigerant
gas cools inside the condenser it changes state (condenses)
from a gas to a liquid. A
W
ater Pump
circulates water
through the condenser.
Refrigerant leaving the condenser is a medium temperature
high pressure liquid. It flows through the
Liquid Line
to the
Thermostatic Expansion Valve
. The thermostatic expansion
valve (TXV) regulates the flow of refrigerant into the
Evaporator
. The evaporator is a single wall brazed plate source
water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger. The refrigerant changes
state (boils/evaporates) from a liquid state back into a gas
(vapor) in the evaporator.
The refrigerant flows out of the evaporator through the
Suction
Line
and into the
Accumulator
. The accumulator traps any
liquid refrigerant the evaporator is unable to vaporize during
low
temperature
operating
conditions.
The
accumulator prevents liquid refrigerant from entering the
compressor where it could damage internal components.
Low temperature
,
low pressure refrigerant gas (vapor) is
drawn out of the accumulator by the compressor. The
compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the
refrigerant gas circulating
it to the condenser again
where the refrigeration cycle starts over or continues.
SOURCE WATER TEMPERATURE RANGE
The entering source water temperature operating range for
the HPWH is 40°F to 100°F (4°C to 38°C).
When the HPWH is operating properly the source water
temperature drop through the evaporator (heat exchanger) will
be approximately 8°F to 1
1
°F (-13°C to -1
2
°C).
WATER TEMPERATURE RANGE
The inlet (entering) water temperature operating range for the
HPWH is 40°F to 140°F (4°C to 60°C).
The HPWH will heat potable water up to
150°F
.
When the HPWH is operating properly the water temperature
rise through the condenser (heat exchanger) will be
approximately 8°F to 12°F (4°C to 7°C).
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
The HPWH is factory-charged with R-134a refrigerant. The
refrigerant charge is weighed in at the factory. See Table
9 on page 34. It should not be necessary to add or
remove refrigerant during installation or start up.
EQUIPMENT DISPOSAL
This heat pump water heater contains R-134a refrigerant and is
regulated as a stationary refrigeration appliance under Section
608 of the Clean Air Act. Disposal of this unit must be performed
in accordance with the provisions in Section 608 of the Clean Air
Act and any state or local regulations that may also apply. See
