HEAT RECOVERY UNIT FOR DOMESTIC HOT WATER FROM RESIDENTIAL HVAC SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION: The ECU Waste Heat Water Heater is connected to a water heater and an air conditioner, heat pump, or refrigeration compressor. A small pump circulates cool water from the bottom of the water heater tank through the heat exchanger. Hot refrigerant gas from the compressor is routed through the gas side of the heat exchanger. On DS06 models, an adjustable heat activated valve regulates the water flow rate to maintain the desired temperature at 120 or higher. The heated water is returned to the water tank for domestic use. The ECU heat recovery unit also reduces the compressor load, which increases compressor efficiency and extends compressor life. Reclaiming waste heat from high compressor discharge temperatures is a proven principle of energy recycling that produces abundant hot water safely and economically.

The ECU Waste Heat Recovery System comes in two Varieties: The basic model (HR06) and one for use with High Efficiency Equipment (DS06). To see specifics on each, click the icons below.
