General description of CO
2
heat pump water heater
1.
Composition of CO
2
heat pump water heater
This heat pump water heater for commercial use is a heat pump water hater that is composed of
a heat pump unit with natural refrigerant such as CO
2
which can produce hot sanitary water with
heat pump technology and a hot water storage unit which can store hot water.
A touch panel type remote control is applied to this heat pump water heater for commercial use
and various function settings can be done with simle oeration.
It is available to operate up to 16 units of heat pump units simultaneously with one remote
control.
2.
Mechanism of CO
2
heat pump water heater
The way to produce hot water with this heat pump water heater is that the heat energy retrieved
from the outdoor air heats up the refrigerant and such refrigerant circulated in the system
increases the water temperature.
Therefore, the heating amount to be given to the hot water as heating energy is “[The power
consumption of heat pump unit] + [the heat retrieved from the air]”.
Accordingly, the consumed energy effi ciency becomes more than 1 (one). In other words so that
this system allows very high effi ciency operation.
Merit of CO

refrigerant
· The global warming potential (GWP) is [ 1 ] and it is environment-friendly.
· Since high temperature water can be produced efficiently, it is possible to adjust the heat
reserving volume by controlling the hot water temperature and to use the hot water for high-
temperature cleaning.
