Title: Economic Analysis of a Thermosyphon Water Heater Used for Air Conditioning Condensing Heat Recovery
Abstract: A system of domestic air conditioner combined with a thermosyphon water heater was proposed for reducing the energy consumption of hot water heating. The working principle and operation modes of the combined system were presented. Compared with an electric water heater, a gas water heater,a solar water heater and an air source heat pump water heater respectively, the economic efficiency of a thermosyphon water heater was analyzed. The results indicate a thermosyphon water heater could meet the needs of domestic hot water supply. The relative payback periods for replacing an electric water heater and a gas water heater are 1.1 years and 6.9 years, respectively.
