Costs of Air Source Heat Pump Water
Heaters for Hotels
With the promotion of air source heat pumps more and more hotels
bath centers and other businesses begin to use air source water heaters
to supply hot water. Yet many people have doubts about the cost of hot
water heating with air source heat pump water heaters. This article will
provide an analysis of the costs of air source heat pumps for hotels.
In this article the cost calculation will be based on the cost of producing
1000L of hot water. The energy required to heat 1000L water from 15 ℃
to 55 ℃ is about 40000kcal. Hot water equipments commonly used in
hotels include air source heat pumps electric water heaters gas water
heaters and solar water heaters.
Electric Water Heaters
Operating Cost Analysis:
1. Heat value of electric water heaters is 860kcal/kw/h.

2. Electricity consumption is calculated at 0.11/kw.h USD.
3. The cost of heating 1000L hot water from 15 ℃ to 55 ℃ is as follows:
40000kcal÷860kcal/kw/h46.5kw.h
46.5kw.h×0.11/kw.h5.12
Advantages: Eco-friendly not affected by the weather.
Disadvantage: With high power consumption heating 1000L water
needs about 5.12. Large hotels often use more than 100 000L daily hot
water and the operating cost of electric boilers is too high which is not
in line with the economic interests of hotels.
Gas Water Heaters:
Operating Cost Analysis Natural Gas:
1. The heat generated by 1m³ natural gas is about 9000kcal.
2. The price of 1m³ natural gas is about 0.42.
3. The cost of heating 1000L water from 15 ℃ to 55 ℃ is as follows:
40000kcal÷9000kcal/m³ 4.44m³
4.44m³ x 0.42/m³ 1.86
Advantages: Fast heating speed if used in places where gas is cheaper
operating costs will be lower.
Disadvantages: The exhaust gas generated during combustion will
pollute the environment and at the same time it has some potential

safety hazards. Moreover the supply of gas source is unstable in winter
and the price might rise.
Solar Water Heaters:
Solar water heaters are greatly affected by weather and season. In the
cold areas spring autumn and winter are the peak seasons of hot water
usage. Therefore solar water heaters are not suitable for hotels bath
centers and other commercial places but more suitable as auxiliary hot
water heating systems in summer.
Air Source Heat Pumps:
Operating Cost Analysis:
The annual COP ratio of heat output to power input of an air source
heat pump water heater is more than 3.0 which means that the power
of a Kilowatt hour can produce heat equivalent to electricity of 3 kWh.
Its operating cost is about one third of that of an electric water heater.
The cost of heating 1000L water from 15 ℃ to 55 ℃ is about 1.71 USD.
Advantages: safe environment-friendly and energy saving.
Disadvantages: Large initial investment.
To sum up heating 1000L hot water from 15 ℃ to 55 ℃ will cost 5.12

for electric water heaters 1.86 for gas water heaters and 1.71 USD for
air source heat pumps. Considering all aspects air source heat pump
water heaters are the most cost-effective for hotels and even other
businesses in the long run.
