A hot water heat pump works by transferring heat from the surrounding air or water into the water tank, a process similar to a refrigerator in reverse. It uses a refrigerant in a cycle: heat from the air evaporates the liquid refrigerant into a gas, a compressor heats this gas to a higher temperature, and a condenser releases that heat to the water in the tank, causing the refrigerant to turn back into a liquid to start the cycle again.
Hot water heat pumps are a simple and cost effective solution for the provision of hot water. It is comprised of a high performance stainless steel cylinder wrapped in a stylish modern casing, with a controller included. The refrigeration module sits on top with the ventilation ductwork connections. The heat pump uses ducted air extracted from inside or outside the property. A backup 1.5 kW electrical immersion heater ensures hot water is readily available, even at peak demand .A user friendly control panel ensures easy operation, with preset operational modes such as auto, eco, boost, silent and holiday. Hot water heat pumps are ideal for new-build flats and apartments, and offers a cost effective option for developments where a wet heating system is neither desired or required. When combined with electric panel radiators, the hot water heat pump provides a cheap and compliant solution for heating and hot water.
