Introduction
The Sanden Sanco
2
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 used
is CO
2
which does not contribute to global warming so it allows us to help keep a clean
healthy earth for future generations.
We have also considered the power requirement. By using CO
2
as the refrigerant, we have
produced one of the most energy efficient units currently available. It is even more efficient
when connected to demand response power
and the noise level is so low it will operate
unobtrusively throughout the night.
How it works
The Sanden Sanco
2
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:
The unit must have a minimum of 5 hours continuous power available at all time to allow
the unit to operate without affecting reliability.
