THE PERFECT HOT WATER SOLUTION
A CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System from Reclaim Energy is the perfect hot water solution. Its custom design for Australian conditions makes it the right choice for you. Whether for residential properties, or commercial applications such as restaurants, hotels, schools, universities or apartment blocks, Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pumps provide a reliable, quality hot water supply that is energy efficient, friendlier on the environment and will ultimately save you money over time.
HOW IT WORKS
The efficiency and low running costs of a Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump stems from its low-energy, low-impact operation. It concentrates ambient heat from the surrounding air and pumps that heat into the water in the storage tank. Since this process merely concentrates existing heat, instead of having to generate more, the Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump reduces annual hot water energy requirements by up to 80% when compared to conventional electric systems.
WATER SUPPLY QUALITY
Water quality is an important aspect that can influence the systems operations and functionality. For the system to be warranted the water used in the system must meet the requirements outlined in the table.
If you have doubts regarding water quality please contact your local water authority or have a water test completed. In areas of poor water quality all major components will have a reduced life due to the hardness of the water. In areas with “hard water” (>200 mg/L or ppm), a water softening device must be installed to ensure the long term efficient operation of the system is met. Note that the Reclaim Energy glass-lined tank has a sacrificial anode to protect the vessel from corrosion. The glass line tank warranty is linked to an anode inspection that must be carried out every three (3) years.
