Basic Operation Fundamentals

The Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) is an integrated
heat pump water heater unit, having an 850 watt
compressor and external coil heat exchanger with backup
electric elements (See Figure 1). When in Ef

ciency Mode

the heat pump draws heat from the ambient air in the room
and transfers it to the water in the tank through the coil
heat exchanger. While in Electric Mode the water heater
functions like a standard electric water heater, relying on
the electric elements to heat the water. A Hybrid Mode is
available that relies primarily on the heat pump to heat

the water while the electric elements only function during
high demand periods. (See “Adjusting the User Interface
Module/ Operational Mode” section). The more often
the unit operates using the heat pump, rather than the
elements, the more ef

cient the unit will be.

The 80-gallon tank capacity of this water heater is intended
to take optimal advantage of the heat pump’s capability to
heat water for large families or those having higher than
normal hot water requirements. This high capacity will
enable the unit to operate in the maximum ef

ciency mode

more often than other models having lower capacity.
The HPWH uses about half the electricity of a comparably
sized conventional electric water heater when operating
in the Ef

ciency Mode, and provides up to ½ ton cooling

capacity and dehumidi

cation. It is designed for indoor,

residential applications for installation in a basement,
garage or utility room (See “Location Requirements”
section).
