Abstract

The paper describes the building and testing of a domestic hot-water system in a laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Canterbury, New Zealand. The system included not only conventional household devices, but also solar panels and a waste-water heat exchanger. The rig was controlled by a micro-processor so that tests could be readily repeated to assess the effect of a change of value of any particular parameter. The data were recorded by a separate logging system for subsequent analysis. The energy saved by using the solar panels was a maximum of 47% and by employing the waste-water heat exchanger was a maximum of 32%. The saving when using both together was always less than the sum of the individual savings.
