The Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump System works in a different way compared to a conventional electric hot water system. The Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump System operates like a refrigerator in reverse. It contains a fan that forces air through an evaporator that contains a refrigerant. The heat in the air passes through the evaporator and is absorbed by a natural refrigerant, R744 (CO2), which is ozone friendly and does not contribute to global warming.
The warm gaseous refrigerant is circulated in the system via a compressor. As it passes through the compressor, its pressure rises, as does its temperature. This hot refrigerant then passes through a heat exchanger to heat the water, which is finally pumped to the storage tank.
The Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump System delivers:
Industry leading energy efficiency - uses only 20% of the energy required by a conventional electric storage hot water system.
Innovative technology - up to 50% faster heat recovery than currently available hot water heat pumps.
Industry leading quality & performance, with the highest level of STC rebates of currently available hot water heat pumps.
Class leading warranties, backed by Sanden’s 35 years of operation in Australia.
As the Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump System uses R744 (CO2) refrigerant technology, the amount of electrical energy required to heat the water is significantly less than that required by a conventional electric hot water system.
In fact, the Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump System consumes 0.84kW^^ of electricity to generate 4.99kW^^ of heat (COP = 5.96^), which equates to 20% of the energy used by a conventional electric system. Consequently, with the Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump System, you can save up to 80%* of your conventional electric hot water energy costs!
