Abstract

Air source heat pump integrated with hot water storage tank may enhance the efficiency of heating, and the volume of hot water storage tank is closely related to the thermal efficiency of the hot water system. Referring to the relevant formulas of building water supply and drainage design standards, this paper simulates the operation conditions of heat pump, and combined with the measured annual data of hot water using in a hospital, systematically discusses the adaptability of heat pump water production and seasonal hot water usage, as well as the actual regulating volume of hot water storage tank. Assumed the heat pump is altered by the working condition of the vernal equinox, the daily storage and discharge of the hot water tank can be accurately calculated, the hot water tank should charge 2.94 times of average hourly water yield of air pump during the peak water usage period. considering the safety and economy of the air source heat pump system, it is strongly recommended that the volume of hot water storage tank can be designed as the 5 ~ 6 times of hourly average water yield of air source heat pump, which can meet the usage of hot water for most of the time and it is inspected under various accidental conditions.
