Going Green: Water and Heat
Heat PumpHarvesting Nature’s Energy With the aid of a heat pump, at least some of this natural energy can be harvested and utilized as heat for domestic hot water and central heating. A system of this kind is, in any case, always useful. Heat recovery works even at outside temperatures far below zero. Calculated over the year as a whole, nature will generally “reimburse” you most of your conventional heating costs. The environment is full of energy. You have to go as unbelievably low as -273 deg. C before every last bit of energy has been extracted.
Stiebel Eltron Factory locates in Holzminden, Germany) About Stiebel EltronWe have the energy to change things • - Establish in 1924 • Since 1976, Stiebel Eltron started the manufacturing of Heat Pump System • In 2007, we invested over 10 million Euro to develop a new Heat Pump production facility with a capacity of over 40,000 heat pump per year
What is Heat Pump? • Heat pump – the Energy Saving System • >> Our Stiebel Eltron renewable heat pump utilizes environmental energy to generate heat for water heating. • Environmental energy can be from • Ambient Air • Water • Brine (Ground heat) • >>Compared with traditional heating system, it can save energy cost up to 80%.
What is the principle of heat pump ? Electrical energy Compressor Inlet line (gaseous process medium/refrigerant) Pressure line Flow Heating output Environmental heat Condenser Evaporator Return Expansion valve Injection line Liquid line (liquid process medium)
How does a Heat Pump work? A Simple Principle >>1. A Cooled, liquid refrigerant is pumped into the heat pump heat exchanger (evaporator) There is absorbs thermal energy from the ambience as a result of the temperature differential. In the process, the refrigerant then changes state and becomes a gas. >>2.The gaseous refrigerant is then recompressed in the compressor. The pressure results in a temperature increase. >>3.A second heat exchanger (condenser) transports this thermal energy into the heating system and the refrigerant reverts to a liquid form. >>4.The refrigerant pressure is reduced again in the expansion valve. 3 + 1 = 4
What is the efficiency of heat pump? Power input=P0 P (pressure) 3 Q0 2 Heat abstracted=Q1 Heat output=Q0 1 4 Q1 h (enthalpy) In theory, heat output=heat abstracted + power input Q0=Q1+P0 Co-efficient of performance (COP) is an evaluating indicatorof heat pump’s efficiency COP=Heat output/Power input=Q0/P0 At the same heat output, a heat pump with high COP means more energy saving.
Variation of COP based on different parameter How to judge COP? • COP is a parameter to judge the performance of a heat pump. However, it can be affected by: • Ambient temperature • Moisture level of ambient air • Inlet water temperature • Desired outlet water temperature • For example, the higher the ambient temperature or the more humid the air is, the higher the COP. • Thus, when we review COP, we can always use • - EN standard based on average COP as a bench mark • - Annual Energy saving between heat pump and other water heater (adopted by REC in Australia)

Heat Pump Awards Red Dot Design Award The Red dot design award is a large and coveted international product design prize awarded by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen,Germany. The aim of the prize is to honor outstanding design quality and trendsetters. Winning products are presented in the red dot design museum on the premises of the Zollverein World Cultural Heritage site in Essen. iF Product Design Award The iF Product Design Award was introduced in 1954 and is annually conferred by the iF International Forum Design. Along with the red dot design award it is the most important international product design award. Every year it attracts more than 2,000 product entries from around 37 nations, which are judged by renowned experts, with the best of them receiving an iF seal of outstanding design quality. The best of the best are awarded with an iF gold award, known as the "Design Oscar".
Heat Pump Awards Designpreis The Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany is the country‘s highest distinction in the field of design. It is known as the »Prize of Prizes«. The reason: no other design award sets such strict criteria on entries. Thus, a company can only enter the competition for the Design Award if its product has already been awarded a national or international design prize. Another precondition for entry is that companies must have been nominated by the Ministries and Senators of the Federal States or by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. Design Plus Award The Design Plus award, presented by a distinguished jury in conjunction with the Ambiente international consumer goods trade fair in Frankfurt, stands for product design which is not merely an end in itself but instead very much exemplary and trend-setting. Obserceur Design Award Each year, the Observeur selects more than 150 outstanding products from our everyday environment designed, manufactured or marketed in France. The selection covers consumers goods, packaging, graphic and commercial design. This selection has received international recognition and the Observeur is endorsed by ICSID.

Payback Analysis for a 6 Person Family Assumption: • On average, this family is taking nine showers per day, each people is taking 12 minutes shower non stop at 40℃ with a flow rate of 10l/min • We assume that each family is using hot water for dish washing at 40℃. Each person needs another 10 litre to wash their dishes Total water required: 1200 litre at 40℃ • We assume that the average inlet temperature is at 20℃ • We assume that each degree of electricity is costing $0.9 • Our average COP based on EN standard at 20℃ ambient temperature is 3.8
Payback Analysis for a 6 Person Family Calculation: • Total power consumption by traditional electric water heater: (1,080 + 120) x (40℃ - 20℃)/ 857 = 28kW hour • Running cost of using traditional electric water heater in 365 days 28 x 0.9 x 365 = $9,198 • For each heat pump, we are consuming around 0.5kW of electricity and it can yield 1.7kW of heat energy per hour based on factory standard • Running hour of heat pump to generate the necessary hot water 28kW hour / 1.7kW = 16.47 hours • Expenditure in using heat pump to produce hot water under the above scenario in a year $9,198 / 3.8 = $2,420 Annual energy saving is around $6,777 vs. traditional electric water heater (Please note that our heat pump is not running in full gear, saving can be as much as $10k+ a year if it is running 22 hours or above a day)
