basically after you take a window unit apart the back half is a coil,a fan shroud and fan.
you take all that off and out except the coil and freon lines.
you turn on ac unit and take a hack saw and cut off the shaft.
this makes alot of room for a stainless two or three piece tank thats sealed by flanges and silicone.the tank has some short half tubes where the two lines come and go from the coil.they are filled with silicone to absorb vibration and also seal tank.
the tank has two water tap lines, a drain spiggot and a pressure relief valve.
the water tap lines connect to home water system.
a small cathode rod is also installed on tank.
the entire outside and under is sprayfoamed thick and covered in a protective metal box.
a pvc leg tube stand holds the weight of the window unit.
a damper to blow the cold air outside in winter is added.
basically your hot water bill is free in the summer time because we already cool our homes with ac half the year.
in the winter is the only time it cost and it should be cheaper than typical electric heat because its using outside heat like a home heat pump.since its running in the winter only some of the time.it turns on when it needs heat and insulation should store the heat real well.
the cheapest hot water there is.
the window unit pays for itself in one year.
