Apparatus for making hot-water by air conditioner/heater

An apparatus for making hot-water by an air conditioner/heater, said apparatus comprising an outdoor section including a compressor, a heat recovery means, a heat exchanger, a fan motor, a filter, and a coolant flow controller;

• an indoor section including a heat exchanger and a fan motor;
• and a control section for air conditioning, heating, or supplying hot-water to an enclosed space, said control section including a central processing unit (CPU), a directional-control valve, a defrost bypass valve, a plurality of sensors, and a control panel wherein said CPU is operable to compare a plurality of sensed values obtained from said sensors with a plurality of predetermined values, control on-off of said compressor, switch of said directional-control valve, speed selections of said fan motors, and on-off of said defrost bypass valve, said directional-control valve is switched to permit a predetermined coolant to flow through by a selection of an air conditioning or heating mode, said sensors are located on said heat exchanger of said outdoor section, said heat exchanger of said indoor section, said enclosed space, and said heat recovery means respectively for sensing temperatures including outlet temperatures of said heat exchangers of said outdoor and indoor sections, an ambient temperature of said enclosed space, and an temperature of said heat recovery means, said heat recovery means comprises a coil with said coolant flowing through for exchanging heat, further comprising a cold water supply line, a hot-water line both in fluid communication with said heat recovery means, a water pump on said hot-water line, a hot-water reservoir on said hot-water line, the hot-water reservoir having a baffle plate and a sensor, a check valve for controlling output from said hot-water reservoir, and an overflow pipe extended from said bottom of said hot-water reservoir to a predetermined position above said coil in said heat recovery means for transferring hot-water back to said heat recovery means when said check valve is turned off.
