The Geyser Heat Pump utilizes advanced refrigerant technology to capture latent heat from the ambient air and transfer it to the geyser water. This is achieved with minimal electricity use, employing Freon gas, a high-performance fan, and a super-efficient compressor. For Pretoria residents, this system offers a highly efficient solution for heating water while reducing energy costs.
Refrigerant is used due to its excellent ability to absorb and transfer heat energy. The fan draws large quantities of warm air through the evaporator coil, which acts as a heat collector. The liquid refrigerant inside the coil absorbs the free ambient heat, changing it into gas. The refrigerant gas is then passed through the compressor, where it is compressed to increase both pressure and temperature.
This super-heated gas is pumped to the heat exchanger, which transfers the heat to the incoming geyser water, raising its temperature. The refrigerant gas then condenses back into a liquid and is pumped back to the evaporator coil to repeat the cycle.
The efficiency of the Geyser Heat Pump is measured by the coefficient of performance (COP) – the ratio of energy input to output. For every unit of electricity used, the Solar Geyser Heat Pump produces 4 to 6 units of heat extracted from the air, making it an excellent energy-efficient heating solution for Pretoria homes.
Advantages of a Geyser Heat Pump
- The Geyser Heat Pump heats your geyser to 60ºC with free heat extracted from the ambient air.
- Compared to 3/4kW elements for the standard geyser the Geyser Heat Pump is a very economical and efficient system.
- The electrical power to run a Geyser Heat Pump will only be 0,9kW compared to the 3 or 4kW used by a standard geyser.
- With Solar Geyser you still have standard elements 3/4kW heating the water when there is no sun at night or cloudy days. You still pay electricity at normal geyser rates.
- With a Geyser Heat Pump your electrical account will be less compared to a solar geyser.
What are the benefits?
The Geyser Heat Pump has been designed for easy operation and reliability. The compact Geyser Heat Pump takes up little space and because of the Geyser Heat Pump’s nature, hot water will be available day and night, saving you money 24/7!
