Introduction
Water
heating is a thermodynamic process in which water is heated from any
external heat source that has a greater temperature than that of water.
The development of the hybrid electrical water heater is an effort to
make the water heating process eco-friendly and reduce power
consumption.
This water heating system can be used in both space
cooling and water heating. It extracts heat from the surroundings and
transfers that heat to the water. In other words we can say that, it is a
device that can transfer heat from air to water and this is its main
principle.
As a heat pump, the system is better to use in warm
places in order to get a higher quantity of heat. However, this does not
mean that it cannot work properly in conditioned places. A hybrid
electric water heater can work at temperature as low as 40 F. When used
in a conditioned place, it works like an air conditioner- removing heat
from the air and transferring it to the water. During the heating
season, this means that the house's furnace is taking some of the load
for heating water with these systems. (If not installed in the same
position as an existing water heater, high voltage supply current will
be need to provided.)
