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 Efficiency 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 efficient the unit will be.
The tank capacity of this heat pump water heater is sized to
maximize the use of the heat pump to deliver hot water at
a lower cost as compared to heat pump waters with lower
tank capacities (50 gallons or less.)
The HPWH uses about half the electricity of a comparably
sized conventional electric water heater when operating
in the Efficiency Mode, and provides up to ½ ton cooling
capacity and dehumidification. It is designed for indoor,
residential applications for installation in a basement,
garage or utility room (See “Location Requirements”
section).
