Where does the water release its acquired heat? is there a second heat exchanger outside? Does it use domestic running water? Perhaps all of this should be part of the description, Thanks for sharing 🙏
The water used can be a wastewater system in which the water is thrown away into the drain after being used. Wastewater system is not encouraged as it is wasteful and many states prohibit its use. A better option but higher cost is to recirculate the water by using a ccoling tower. The cooling tower will reject the heat from the water by forced draft or natural draft.
As far as I’m aware, waste water from a water cooled condenser is classed as process water by the Environment Agency - you can’t just put it down the drain matey...
@@Aviator168 - any water that gas been through a machine that has altered it in anyway (heated/cooled/contaminated) is classed as process water in the UK & can’t be run away to waste 👍 Check the Environment Agency website for details & confirmation. 😆 Water will never come out of a water cooled Aircon condenser as steam 😆 I know this because I’ve been an air conditioning engineer for the past 40 years 👍
@@markfox7207 it depends. Typically it would be either a “Dry Cooler” or a cooling tower ( a bit OTT for just one unit though…) In a commercial setting, lots of these units would be connected to a “loop” which could incorporate a heat recovery circuit for pre-heating hot water or re-distributing heat to another part of a building etc (Google “versatemp”) Fact is though, in the UK, any water which has been through a machine is deemed “process water” & can’t be discharged to a drain or watercourse….
What's the typical water consumption in litres per hour?
and where does the water go after the compressor?
@@chrisreynolds6391 The hot water just goes down the drain.
I wonder this too
Loli so many ppl don't understand this thing

This is exactly what I’m building! I get free water and can’t vent hot air outside
That’s exactly what I thought it would be
Thanks for that Cool info.
Can you get a shower with the heated water?
How many litres per hour?
Does the heated water go down to the drain?
Think you’re confusing Condensate & Condenser Water - they’re two different things 👍
Yes. Or it can be used to pre heat water for the hot water supply
Uhm where do I get the cold water from? 🤷🏼♂️ I live in an apartment.
You could collect it from the cold side lol
You don’t have a water tap..?
That's not at all how air conditioning works 🙄🤫, how cheap is that tekno point system btw?

No. It is just hot water and for some units, it goes out as steam.

@@billbob5858 I am not in the UK. If that's the case, the water come out from shower is dirtier than that of an AC.
@@billbob5858 where does the water go if not down the drain?
