Abstract

See full text

Double hybrid heat pumps, systems, and methods of operation that provide increased efficiency in both heating and cooling modes, heated water, and other advantages. The system includes a compressor for compressing low-pressure vapor phase refrigerant to high-pressure vapor phase refrigerant, a refrigerant condensing heat exchanger to heat water and cool the refrigerant to a high-pressure liquid refrigerant, which is provided to a refrigerant cooling heat exchanger in which any remaining high-pressure vapor phase refrigerant is condensed and the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is further cooled. The high-pressure cooled liquid refrigerant is passed through an expansion valve to drop the pressure of the cooled liquid to yield a low-pressure cooled liquid refrigerant or low-pressure cooled two-phase refrigerant. The low-pressure cooled liquid or two-phase refrigerant is then evaporated in a refrigerant evaporating heat exchanger to produce the low-pressure vapor refrigerant that is returned to the compressor.
