System for transferring heat energy from a refrigeration circuit to a hot water circuit.

摘要

Apparatus and method for exchanging heat energy between a refrigeration circuit and a hot water system. Water is heated in a combination refrigerant desuperheater-water preheater and then conducted to hot water storage. A coaxial fitting is disclosed for mixing heated water from the refrigerant desuperheater-water preheater with water in a hot water tank prior to discharging that water to a hot water system.
