| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the goal of designing home bath water heat recovery systems to reduce the water heating load of hot water supply system experiments in characteristics of the heat exchanger for drainage heat recovery were performed. By using simulation model of the whole hot water supply system the heat recovery rate and primary energy consumption were estimated. As a result, it is shown that 11.36 MJ/day of primary energy consumption could be reduced.
Other experiments on hot-cold sensation and comfort for water temperatures of 14 to 45 degree C were performed on 30 test subjects. Hot-cold sensation on a 7-level vote scale strongly correlated with water temperature and skin temperature. At 28 degree C and above, there were no “cold” votes. A heat recovery system that stores warm water to save energy could also improve quality of life in winter if the set temperature is 28 degree C.
