HOW LONG WILL THE HEAT PUMP RUN EACH DAY?
The length of time that the Airoheat will run each day will vary dependent upon
the amount of hot water being used by the household and the average
outdoor ambient temperature.
Generally the Airoheat will run longer in winter and at night when the outside
air temperature contains less energy.
As a general guide in ambient conditions of 25 degrees C and inlet water
temperatures of 15 degrees C the Airoheat will take 2.5 hours to heat from
cold to 59-60 degrees C. When water is drawn down, dependent on the
volume drawn, the reheat time under the same conditions is considerably
less.
WHY IS THERE CONDENSATION COMING FROM THE AIROHEAT?
Condensation production is normal for all devices that use refrigeration
principles. Air conditioners are a good example of systems that produce water
condensation.
Condensation occurs when relatively warm moist air passes through the cold
evaporator. Moisture contained in the air condenses (deposits) onto the
evaporator fins then runs down into the drainage system located under the
evaporator. It is this water you see flowing from the condensate drain of the
system.
The amount of condensation will vary with the humidity of the location so the
amount of condensate that flows from the module will vary.
DOES THE HEAT PUMP NEED SUNLIGHT TO OPERATE?
Unlike solar water heaters heat pump water heaters extract their energy from
the surrounding air and not from sunlight. For this reason they can efficiently
produce hot water any time day or night and even on cloudy or overcast days.
It is not uncommon for your system to operate during the night.
CAUTION: All water heaters have the ability to produce hot water in a
surprisingly short time. To reduce the risk of scald injury, it is
mandatory under the requirements of Australian Standards AS3500
that an Australian Standards approved temperature control valve be
fitted to the hot water supply pipe work. This valve should be checked
at regular intervals to ensure its operation and settings remain correct.
