Well I tested the melting point of my paraffin wax and its somewhere around 138-140 farenheit. It was hard to get it narrowed down.
One of the ways that I'm looking to input heat into my hot water storage tank is with an air to water heat pump similar to what some here have done with their homemade heat pump water heaters. I was thinking of starting with a 5 ton system.
my question is how high of a water temperature can I achieve and what refrigerant would I be looking at using?
I currently have a 5 ton mr cool universal system for my home and it is working well. It claims to be rated to -22 f with full output. time will tell.
One of my goals is to get off of using natural gas and just use our solar system that I installed 5 years ago. we currently have 24-305 watt panels and 36- 325 watt panels with 2 solaredge 7600 inverters.
So the question is how hot of water hopefully 160-180??? in my climate.
let me know what you think, thanks
