ABSTRACT:
A water heating system for residential use is provided having a heat pump solely for producing heat energy to heat water. The system includes an insulated storage tank interconnected in a water system and the tank may be provided with secondary heating means such as electric resistance elements for effecting heating of the water in the event that the heat pump is unable to produce sufficient heat as a consequence of ambient environment temperature conditions or if the heating demands exceed the heat pumps capability. A water circulating conduit is connected with the tank and is coupled with the heat pump by a heat exchanger. Positive circulation of water in the conduit is obtained by a pump interconnected therein. A temperature regulating flow control valve may be included in the circulating conduit to result in the water leaving the circulating conduit and either returning to the tank or entering the water system at the maximum desired temperature. A modified form of the system includes a vertically configured heat exchanger which is particularly capable of effecting circulation of water through inducing of thermally convective current.
