Hot Water Design for Heat Pump Water Heaters

The California Energy Commission is currently pursuing many programs which are aimed at decarbonizing our energy infrastructure including all electric cooking, space heating and water heating. The commercial foodservice industry has started to adopt efficient electric cooking equipment as the first step towards all electric, zero net carbon kitchens. This class explains how the foodservice industry can take the most important next step towards zero carbon by addressing one of the biggest barriers: How to replace the traditional gas fired hot water systems with electric heat pump water heaters. Learn how heat recovery dish machines, effective plumbing design, and decentralized, point of use water heating are necessary to make heat pump water heaters perform effectively in the demanding commercial kitchen environment.
