Electric heat pump type waterheater

Electric heat pump type water heater is a type of heatpumps for supplying hot water in a systemic manner in abuilding. Run by electricity, the electric heat pump in thismethodology is also equipped with power optimization
devices (e.g. inverters) to minimize the electricity
consumption of compressors by adjusting heating energy
against the demand.

Supply water heater system

Supply water heater system consists of electric heat pump
type water heater and auxiliary boiler which compensates
the lack of heating energy by heating up the water flowing
from electric heat pump type water heater(s) as necessary.
It will intake water supply from tap water and/or well.

F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
Reference emissions are calculated from the net supplied quantity of heating energy by theproject electric heat pump type water heater(s) divided by the efficiency of reference boiler
and multiplied by the emission factor of the fuel.
Net quantity of heating energy supplied is calculated by water quantity supplied to/from thesupply water heater system and temperature difference between the hot water supplied fromthe supply water heater system and feed water supplied to that system and physical property
values of water (density and specific heat of water).
The net emission reductions are ensured by conservatively setting the efficiency of reference
boiler at 92% which is the highest efficiency for a new boiler available from CDM
