Heat Pump Systems?

Have you heard of Heat Pump Water Heater?

Heat pump water heaters are a very efficient  mean of supplying residential and commercial hot water needs, and complement space heating.

This type of heater can be considered somewhat an air source heat pump extracting local ambient heat from the surrounding air vicinity, essentially circulating the heat around within the pump to increase temperatures.

The heat pump water heaters are around three times more efficient than conventional electric water heater due to these moving heat around instead of generating heat by itself.

The efficiency ratio of a heat pump water heater relies on the system quality, the design of the installation, the average ambient temperatures and the positioning of the compressor unit. 

There are two types of heat pump water heaters:

Split systems scenario; This has a water tank and compressor separated similar to a conventional  air conditioning system.

Integrated units: The compressor and water storage unit combined. This system is generally positioned outdoors.

You may think..... How do Water Heat Pump Heaters actually work?

Essentially, a heat pump water heater works very much like a refrigerator, however in reverse. Instead of pulling the hot air volume from the inside and discharging it outside, a heat pump water heater pulls in ambient air from the outside and warms it up inside.

Heat pumps are more efficient than normal electric hot water heaters due to them not using electricity to generate heat. These primarily, absorb heat from outside sources and then only use electricity to circulate heat, ultimately transferring that heat into the water.

This type of system does produce condensation in the process, and a condensation drain will be needed.

They work ideally in locations with year-round temperature ranges of 4°C to 32°C.

In addition, heat pump water heaters tend to cool the space around them because the cold air is expelled while the hot air is kept inside the heater. This means that in the winter, you would have a heat pump water heater that further cools your space.
