Abstract

A water heater appliance or heat transfer assembly may include a refrigeration system, an electronics board, a conductive interface, and a conduction line. The refrigeration system may include a sealed refrigerant loop attached to a housing. The electronics board may be attached to the housing apart from the refrigeration system. The conductive interface may be proximal to the electronics board and spaced apart from the sealed refrigerant loop. The conductive interface may include a plurality of fins extending away from the electronics board. The conduction line may extend from a first end proximal to the conductive interface to a second end proximal to the sealed refrigerant loop and above the first end to convey waste heat from the electronics board to the sealed refrigerant loop. The conductive interface may define an internal channel within which a portion of the conduction line is disposed.
