  • Heating and cooling system having auxiliary heating loop
    Patent number: 5239838
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for exchanging heat energy between a refrigeration circuit and a hot water system utilizes a solar heated water tank or a conventional water heater. In a wintertime operation, condensed refrigerant receives heat from either the solar heated water tank or the water heater and the additional heat is delivered to living spaces by an indoor condenser and fan assembly. In summertime operation, condensed refrigerant bypasses the hot water storage arrangement so as to function as a normal air conditioning system.
