Hot Water Heat Pump Systems
 |
|
Mitsubishi Electric Hot Water Heat Pumps are one of the most efficient ways to heat hot
water all year round. Water temperatures are easily adjusted through the wall mounted LCD
controller. A highly efficient inverter system utilising an environmentally friendly
refrigerant allows the system to continue providing heat even with outdoor temperatures
as low as –20°C.

| How do Hot Water Heat Pumps work?
|
| Hot Water Heat Pumps work on a similar principal to a
refrigerator; they are able to absorb energy from the surrounding
outdoor air and transfer this energy into a refrigerant. The
heat energy is upgraded using a refrigerant cycle and this
upgraded renewable energy is transferred in to the water. The
R410A refrigerant used in Mitsubishi Electric Hot Water Heat
Pumps has zero ozone depletion potential. This refrigerant
allows useful heat energy to be absorbed from even sub zero
outdoor air. |

| How Efficient is a Hot Water Heat Pump?
|
| A Co-Efficient of Performance (COP) is a ratio of energy
produced compared to energy consumed by an appliance.
The higher the COP the less energy is consumed to produce
the same amount of heat. A comparison of COP’s shows
that electric heating has a COP of 1; meaning for every
1kW of energy consumed only 1kW of heat is produced. Gas heating is even lower at 0.85.
Which means for every 1kW consumed only 0.85kW of heat
is produced. However Mitsubishi Electric Hot Water Heat
Pumps are extremely energy efficient and can achieve COPs
between 3-4, this means they can produce between 3-4kW of
heat for every 1kW consumed. As no fossil fuels are burnt in
the operation of a heat pump, CO2 emissions are also greatly
reduced when compared to gas or oil fired boilers. |
