Atlantic - Product Selection Guide

28 RENEWABLE ENERGY WATER HEATERS HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER TECHNOLOGY the best all-year solution ever Renewable, clean and free calories contained in ambient air are an ideal energy source for heating water, even in winter with air temperature down to -5°C. Atlantic offers high-performance and cost-effective solutions to produce DHW. Clean and simple operation: The heat pump water heater consists of a heat pump which captures the energy in the air in order to produce DHW. HOW DOES IT WORK? The heat pump water heater uses the operational principle of a heat pump, by absorbing calories in outdoor air and using the energy to heat water. The fan 1 inhales ambient air transferring its energy to the refrigerant agent in the evaporator 2 thus changing from liquid to gas. The gas is further heated by compression 3 . In the condenser 4 the gas transfers its accumulated heat to the water tank. As it gets colder it transforms back to fluid. The pressure of the fluid is further reduced by the expansion valve 5 . The electric back-up heating 6 starts only when required during insufficient heat pump working conditions.
