As you can see in this simplified diagram to the left, the heat pump pumps the heated water into you water storage tank, and cooler water at the bottom is transferred back to the heat pump for heating.
In another setup, the heated refrigerant gases are piped directly into the water tank, thus heating he water from within, and as the gas cools it is then returned to the heat pump, where fresh heat is drawn into the pump from the surrounding atmosphere and so the process repeats.
In some installations, the heat pump heats water in a secondary tank, available in a variety of sizes, which is then pumped into your main water tank. a 3-4Kw electrical emmersion heater would also be installed into the tank as backup. |
This 440 liter tank to the left is specially designed for use with heat pumps systems.
it is designed to produce plenty of hot water for large families and can sutomatically bring the water temperature up to 65c so as to remove risk of Legionella

Whichever system or setup is best for you, the installation is straightforward and usually involved the very minimum of disruption to you and your home.
