What is a Heat Pump?

Basically warm air enters the system and cooler air is pushed out. Cool water is then able to enter the system from the storage tank and at the same time heat is transferred to the water in the heat pump. Hot water is then returned to the tank ready for use.

Benefits of a Heat Pump

  • No need to install expensive solar panels on you roof
  • They don’t need daylight to operate
  • Compare favourably to solar panels for cost savings
  • They offer an environmentally friendly hot water option with a big reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
  • They are electronically controlled using the same connection as normal electrical hot water systems, meaning a cost saving when installing
  • They continue to wok well in low temperatures with the water remaining at a consistent temperature
  • They are manufactured and sold by reputable companies such as Dux and Rheem meaning they are guaranteed for years

Heat Pump Products

At Australian Hydronic Heating and Cooling we work with a number of suppliers to source the best products for you. Below are a couple of examples of hydronic heat pumps from Hunt Heating.
Immergas Audax heat pump
The Immergas Audax heat pump is an air to water heat pump using inverter technology, ideal for stand-alone systems or combined with additional heat sources and equipment delivering hybrid systems. It can provide both hydronic heating and cooling as well as domestic hot water.

The Gree Ultra heat pump hydronic heating continuously absorbs low grade heat from the surrounding air and transforms this into usable high grade heat. This is then transferred to water via a high efficiency heat exchanger to ensure reliable, stable hot water supply. Its compact modular design makes it perfect for environments where reliability is a must and space is in high demand.

Rheem Accent hydronic heat pump

Rheem have brought out their new “Premium Rheem Thermal Range” of heat pumps for hydronic heating. These heat pumps are up to 50% cheaper to run than natural gas systems and 80% cheaper than LPG heaters. The Accent hydronic heat pump uses the best refrigerants and is available in both air-to-water and ground-sourced/water-to-water design.
Some of the key benefits are as follows

  • Full commercial construction including marine grade aluminum case and anti-corrosion
    treatment of the evaporator
  • Market leading level of efficiency
  • Demonstrably lower running cost than competitor offering due to higher efficiency
  • Best suited to Australian conditions with enhanced evaporator and heat exchanger capacity
  • Suited to cool climate operation
  • Compressor housed in separate internal cabinet minimizing noise.
  • Over temperature control
  • HP/LP pressure control and flow switch
  • Marine Grade Aluminum Case, with the option of colour matching
  • Australian-made
  • Full manufacturer’s warranty and factory/service support nationally
  • Faster temperature rise relative to competitor models based on higher heat transfer efficiency

The Unimo Eco-Cute CO2 Heat Pump from Mayekawa is a CO2 air to water heat pump which maintains a constant 90 degrees Celsius temperature. It has an extremely low GWP (global warming potential), is low noise and has a large ambient operating range.
Other features include

  • Constant supply – 35 tons of hot water supply per 24 hours
  • Minimised space – 1/3 footprint reduction increasing accessibility and installation locations
  • Simple design – bolt free design protects against rust and maintains attractive appearance
  • 3 operating modes – power mode, standard mode and energy efficiency mode
  • Smart control – “unimo” automatically selects the most suitable mode of operation based on the built in control system that operates all auxillary equipment as well.

Reclaim CO2 Heat Pump

The Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System uses less energy than an electric water heater. It consists of a heat pump (compressor) and a storage tank (stainless steel or glass lined). The system’s heat exchange collects heat from the air surrounding the unit to use as energy to heat up a pressurised refrigerant, which is ozone friendly CO2. The unit can supply in excess of five units of heat energy from ambient air for every unit of electricity it consumes, meaning the cost of energy used to produce hot water is minimised. 

Benefits include

  • Average annual energy saving of up to 80%
  • Easy to Install
  • Quietest system on the market
  • One shot boost system for continuous hot water
  • Estimated payback period of 3 years

LG Therma V Monobloc Heat Pump

The LG THERMA V R32 Monobloc is an all-in-one heating solution designed to offer energy efficiency, convenience, and easy controls by applying advanced technologies. As it applies R32 refrigerant and LG R1 compressor to help it provide the powerful and high efficient heating.

With a a Wi-Fi modem and LG’s smartphone app, LG ThinQ, users can monitor and remotely control compatible LG products, and access the vast majority of functions.

Monobloc is a fully packaged piece of equipment, where the indoor and outdoor units are combined as one module. Therefore, there is no need for refrigerant piping work since Monobloc unit located outside is connected only to water piping. Hydronic components such as plate heat exchanger, expansion tank and water pump are included in the package.
Some of the features and benefits include

  • Lower running costs – Therma V is approximately up to 4 times more efficient than boilers.
  • Renewable energy – uses 75% of natural energy absorbed from outside air and the rest comes from electricity, significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
  • Multi use – can be used for space heating, floor heating, cooling and hot water supply.
  • Remotely controlled from anywhere – with the LG ThinQ app users can control the heating system remotely.
  • Operating temperatures – can operate at extremely low temperatures and heat water up to 65 Celsius.
  • Environmentally sustainable refrigerant – equipped with  R32 refrigerant, the environmentally sustainable refrigerant which has a Global Warming Potential of 675, 70% lower than that of R410A’s.
