Introduction
The Sanden Heat Pump Water Heater System has been designed using the latest
refrigeration technology to remove the heat from the air to heat water. The refrigerant we
use is CO
which does not contribute to global warming so it allows us to help keep a clean
2
healthy earth for future generations.
We have also considered the power requirement. By using CO
as the refrigerant we have
2
produced one of the most energy efficient units currently available. It's even more efficient
1
when connected to off-peak power
and the noise level is so low it will operate
unobtrusively throughout the night.
How it works
The Heat Pump Water Heater System heats water by transferring the heat from the
surrounding air to the water using a refrigerant. The refrigerant is heated by a heat
exchanger that absorbs heat from the surrounding air (Figure 1).

Note
operating conditions may vary depending on the type of off peak tariff that is available in
your area. The unit must have a minimum of 5 hours continuous power available
