Heat Pump Systems
Replacing an inefficent hot water unit is one of the most significant low cost, carbon-reduction opportunities available to the consumer today.
Most people are aware of three main ways to produce hot water for the home: electric, gas and solar. The fourth, is the energy and cost efficient Quantum heat pump.
This revolutionary invention was initially developed in the 1970's at Melbourne University. Extensive product development and a series of innovative technologies developed by Quantum has resulted in a world leading product that will save you money and reduce your environmental footprint. The Quantum heat pump water heater has the quickest hot water recovery for its size, utilising Quantum's proven technology.
Today, Quantum is an Australian owned hot water company and continues to be the leading innovator and manufacturer for Australian conditions.
Considerable savings with the Quantum heat pump
Heating hot water accounts for up to 30% of the average homes energy bill. This makes producing hot water the largest source of greenhouse gas emmissions in the home. Installing a Quantum heat pump will reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and reduce your cost to produce hot water by up to 75% when compared to other hot water systems.
A quantum heat pump is a patented system whereby heat from the ambient air is absorbed by an environmentally friendly refigerant in the evaporator. This refrigerant gas is then compressed which causes the gas's temperature and pressure to be raised. This hot gas is passed through tubes to the water inside the tank as the condenser. Heat is then transferred from the tubes to the water inside the tank. Once the heat from the compressed gas has been transferred to the water in the tank, the gas becomes a liquid again as it has lost it's heat. This liquid gas then passes through an expansion valve device (TX valve) and back to the evaporator. The cycle is then repeated until the water in the storage tank reaches the set temperature. The Quantum het pump's efficiency stems from the fact that only minimal electricity is required for the compressor, fan and digital display panel. It works in temperatures from as low as 10 deg celsius up to 40 deg celsius both day and night very efficiently without the need for boosting, and only Quantum can do it!. The heat pump principle is simple and can be compared to a refigerator, but in reverse. It extracts latent energy form the air and transfers it to the heating system. This free energy from the environment is converted into useful heat to heat water. In other words, you are using free energy from the environment that doesn't cost a cent, and at the same time reducing your carbon footprint.
