Energy-Saving Design for a Composite Heating Water System from Kitchen Waste Heat and Solar Energy

Abstract:

This paper proposed an energy-saving system which combination solar collectors for heating water system with heat pipe heat exchanger to recover kitchen waste heat. Its working principle is using heat pipe exchangers exhaust heat to warm the cold water from water storage tank, and during the day, take advantage of solar collectors to help heat pipe heat exchanger heating the water. In this design, the heat exchanger tank and the heat storage tank arranged independently, water tank associated control system was provided with automatic temperature regulator to control the opening and stopping of the pump. This system made full use of kitchen waste heat and solar to meet the kitchen cooking and cleaning process hot water supply needs.
