Hi :
1qpm raised 60-degrees x 500 is a constant 30,000 btuh requirement...<<~ 25000 btuh/2-NET COOLING tons
in 1981 TETCO of Ohio had a 40-gal water heater "blue bomb" of 1-ton compressor, r-12 and r-22, that BOTH set to 125
did that , some for over 20 years (!) on just 1.2 to 1.3 gpm 50-deg water. (any water-cooled coolers or ice machines?
Trick was a 12000 btuh compressor at loaded pressures did less "chillin' " ... a cold tank of water starting used over 1.7gpm...
www.Hydro-Temp.com of AR, patented Demand HW in 1981 with just 1.1/2 ton units (to 75-tons)
TETCO Heating Only also had demand HW and Hot air from a "chiller" Geo-thermal unit that used 5 gpm to make HW from a 36000 btuh 3-ton compressor... (32000 BTU, loaded at 122 degrees output) through the 1990's.
A standard off the shelf A/W you describe , will have a BTUH ari/AHRI label-rated compressor... figure a 10,000 btuh might average (CLEAN) only 8500 btuh Hot Water (HW) while only chilling the air ~ 7000 to 7500 btuh...
MFR Tech can tell you more.
so if your 1hp cooler heats that air at (xx) btuh... your able to see the chill vs the heat exchanged~
RECOVERY?
Without formulae:
Air-water equal to like a couple 5kw electrics (2x17 or 34,000 btuh, of 10kwh, like a dirty 45.000 btuh gas water heater) air-water Heat Pumps would be nearer 3 tons/ ~ 2,1.2 hp... (like the old TETCO's now made by GEOCOMFORT) (over 4000, but with some kind of official ground-loop (minimal) and HW tanks and labor and fittings, on a geothermal contract: 10% comm tax credits ... then you can also toss hot air in the winter after heating water... etc (several useful situations from one unit, already proven)
see
www.geopros.org (rough) for pictorials
at using r410a refrigerant is like 10,000 /ton in btuh, unless plenty of warm air (yielding more) with air-water.
estimate work as 1 hp roughly...
?What refrigerant?
or
OFF-SHELF
you buy Hydro-Temps or GEOCOMFORT 100% HW gt units that DO NOT NEED A GT LOOP in the ground if all you do is run warm-air,
dining area cool air also,
that will get DEHUMIDIFIED, and cooled depending on air speeds used WHILE 100% HW is made for common use... unit can mount horizontal too and divert intake/exhaust air where you want cooling or DeHum....
the better the filters, the less the cleanup at the air exchanger:
1-ton, fig 10,000 HW at load recovery or ~ 12000 at cool water entry to heat...
but chills7500 to 8500 usually (net) btuhs/. HEAT-RECLAIM is SOOOOOOOO GREEEEEN.
1qpm raised 60-degrees x 500 is a constant 30,000 btuh requirement...<<~ 25000 btuh/2-NET COOLING tons-
MUST HAVE FLOW-CONTROLLED IF A LOT OF COLD WATER-TANK START-UPS, NEW REFG's. 'HATE' BEING UNDER 85-DEG, AT THE HOT-CONDENSER-HW SIDE (!)(tank appreciated mixing)
Just like a water-cooled ice machine or running an air conditioner on 40-deg days... they use limits t'd into rfg fittings to pinch off flows and fan switches on roof top units.
Even console gt units can WITHOUT LOOPS preheat water while cooling to ~ make105-deg HW, flow controlled, or mixed in 40-50 gal pre-tank... as needed just used as Air-Water-Heat-Pumps... "P-Tac" on up...
used in air-conditioning-cooling modes.
