The installed hybrid absorption/compression heat pump (HACHP), operating as high temperature heat pump, produces hot water at 95 C for a further storage tank. The tank distributes the hot water to consumers, such as the cleaning-in-place (CIP) processes, pasteurizers and filling area.

The first step to understanding the heat pump schematic diagram is identifying the key components. These typically include the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. These components work together to absorb heat from one location and release it in another, effectively heating or cooling your home. Component.

Thermal stratification or improper thermal mixing within these tanks can lead to poor hot water temperature control. The location of the piping connections must ensure thorough thermal mixing within the tanks. The heat reclaim supply should enter the water heater tank approximately 1/3 down from the top of the tank.
