The research on potential energy was conducted to conserve the high-exergy energy like primary energy and utilize waste heat from sewage. From the point of view in using the waste heat, the energy potential of waste water from the model house was simulated.
From the results,when the heated water was supplied to the model house side in order to put unused energy to practice use, heated water had higher energy potential than unheated water, which was due to the discharge of most of unused energy.
The possessing heat capacity of sewage from heated water was increased to 40-70 percents in comparison with that from the unheated water. Therefore, it can be used as energy source for improving coefficient of performance of heat pumps. By adopting the multiple heat pump into a model house, It showed that the possessing heat capacity of sewage was reduced. It was also found that the heat was recovered as energy source for multiple heat pump in a model house.
