QUANTUM HEAT PUMP HOT WATER SYSTEMS

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 emissions 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.

Quantum Heat Pump Hot Water Systems have been on the market for 20 years. Quantum is Australia’s leading manufacturer of advanced renewable solar energy hot water, pool and building heating products. These systems produce hot water 24 hours a day and do not require direct sunlight or roof mounted panels. A Quantum system will significantly reduce the emissions of environmentally damaging greenhouse gases, while saving you up to 75% on your energy costs (as compared to electric hot water systems).

A Quantum heat pump is a system whereby heat from the ambient air is absorbed by an environmentally friendly refrigerant 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 wrapped around the outside of the water 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 its heat. This liquid gas then passes through an expansion device (TX valve) and back to the evaporator. The cycle is then repeated until the water in the storage tank reaches the set temperature.

By using only a small amount of electrical energy to run the heat pump it can transfer 3 times this value, in heat energy from the atmosphere, into the water, giving an efficiency rating above 300% e.g. 1kW of electrical energy into the heat pump can transfer 3.6kW of heat energy into the water
