2a: One Of The Worlds Most Energy Efficient Methods Of Water Heating Production
We thank you for your decision to purchase a Quantum Energy Technologies Heat Pump Water
Heater, which will reward you with many years of low energy hot water production.
QUANTUM ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Pty Ltd designs and manufactures energy efficient Heat
Pump water heaters. The simple way to explain the advantage of this heater is that it saves energy
in any weather, even at night.
The Compact models use 1kW of electrical energy, however, they are able to put up to 3.6kW of
heat energy into the water @ 20°C ambient. The system can save up to 75% of conventional hot
water energy utilization; greatly assisting in the worldwide greenhouse gas reduction campaign.
As the name indicates, a Heat Pump is a machine that pumps heat from a low temperature source
to a high temperature reservoir. It has a cold side to absorb heat at low temperatures and a hot side
to deliver heat at high temperatures.
The Quantum compact model has an air conditioning coil as the cold side of the refrigeration
circuit. This coil absorbs the heat from air that is forced through it by means of the fan. The
Compact design is installed like a conventional electric water heater i.e. the electrical and
plumbing is completed in the same manner.
There is also a Split Air Sourced design, which can be used to recover heat from the roof space or
a warm area like a kitchen. The remote fan coil (energy collector) operates like a passive solar
collector, for instance, absorbing the heat energy from the warm air in the roof space (which has
been heated by the sun). Alternatively, the waste heat from the building can be used as the heat
source.
QUANTUM water heaters are designed and manufactured in Australia and can save energy in
countries all around the world. They are used in all weather conditions for domestic, commercial
and industrial applications, and are regarded as one of the most energy efficient water heaters
available.
This is your assurance that you have purchased one of the highest quality water heaters on the
market, one that will provide continuous hot water for all your needs – safely, economically, and
for many years to come.
2b: Time Delay On Start
NOTE: The system has a 10-minute time delay on start or restart. When the power is first
connected or after a disconnection then re connection, the time delay on start will commence. The
compressor and fan will not operate until the completion of this delay period.
