The invention disclsoes an apparatus and a method for heating water with refrigerant from air conditioning system. The apparatus for heating water has a tank for storing water and an air conditioningsystem that defines a refrigerant flow path through which refrigerant flows. The refrigerant flow path passes through the heat exchanger so that refrigerant heat is contributed to the tank. 本发明公开了采用来自空气调节系统的制冷剂加热水的装置和方法。用于加热水的装置具有用于储存水的水箱和限定制冷剂流动通过的制冷剂流动路径的空气调节系统。制冷剂流动路径穿过热交换器，使得制冷剂热量贡献于水箱。
