Abstract
The use of air conditioning-water heating hybrid system for heating, cooling and hot water ofbuildings, has significantly importance for energy saving. It has been proposed a system to recoverthe waste heat of refrigerant after leaving the air conditioning system condenser in the heating modeand the waste heat of refrigerant after leaving the air conditioning system compressor in the coolingmode to heat water for domestics or other needs. Shell and tube heat exchanger has been designed asa refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger located between the condenser and the expansion valve in theheating mode and between the compressor and the condenser in the cooling mode. The simulationprogram of heat exchanger has been built by using (MATLAP) in order to determining the heattransfer parameters and the temperature difference between the inlet cold water and outlet hot water,the results show that the effectiveness decrease with increase of water mass flow rate, while increasewith increase of tube length. As the tube length (15) m, the outlet hot water temperature from heatexchanger is (60.94) °C, for water mass flow rate (0.15) kg/s, and this value decrease exponentiallyand reach to about (7.528) °C, for water mass flow rate (2) kg/s, while for tube length (5) m, thesevalues ranging between (43.92) °C, to (1.234) °C, respectively.
