ABSTRACT:
A heat pump unit capable of producing hot potable water irregardless of the heating or cooling operation of the heat pump. The heat pump for heating or cooling a conditioned space with potable water heating capability. The heat pump unit having a compressor with a service port, an entrance port and a discharge. A three-way valve is provided connected to the discharge and to the service port of the compressor, and reversing valve is connected to the three-way valve and to the compressor entrance port. A refrigerant-air heat exchanger is connected to the reversing valve outlet and an external source-refrigerant heat exchanger is connected to the reversing valve with a refrigerant-potable water heat exchanger connected to the three-way valve. The heat pump unit also includes a refrigerant-control device interposed between the external source-refrigerant heat exchanger and the refrigerant-air heat exchanger, a first bi-flow valve interposed between the refrigerant-control device and the refrigerant-potable water heat exchanger, and a second bi-flow valve interposed between the refrigerant-control device and the refrigerant-potable water heat exchanger produces hot water irregardless of the heating or cooling operation of the heat pump.
