Enviroheat Heat pump hot water system
Western Australian Government endorsed energy efficient water heaters for use in Western Australia Housing Authority properties
Enviroheat hot water systems are eligible for generous government energy efficient hot water heater rebates
STC is a rated saving that a hot water system has been granted after testing and approved by the Australian Clean Energy Regulator, the number of STC’s that are issued refers to one megawatt hour (1 MWh) of avoided energy consumption over the heat pump hot water heaters deemed life expectancy, that for a hot water system, being 10 years
S = R – T where: S: STC count R: Reference conventional system’s energy consumption (MWh over ten years) T: Tested system’s estimated energy consumption (MWh over ten years)
The Clean Energy Regulator has calculated the energy saving of the ENVIROHEAT systems according to where you live. Use the map shown here to determine how much you can save on an ENVIROHEAT system.
Are you Considering a solar hot water system?
We can help you with that too !
Enviroheat has a sister brand in solar hot water systems, this is known as
The only 100% Australian owned solar hot water Manufacturer
Envirosun is undoubtedly Australia’s best solar hot water systems, they come is both, roof mounted storage tanks and ground mounted split solar hot water systems
The Envirosun TS Plus is the thermosiphon range (tank on roof), these are a superior solar hot water system, the storage tank is manufactured out of the highest quality type 444 stainless steel in Holland, from there they are imported to Australia and assembled in Victoria, they come with a 7 year tank and panel warranty
Envirosun split solar hot water systems (tank on ground) are called the AS range. Australian made (in NSW) solar hot water cylinders fitted with the latest most advanced control and pumping components from Europe, Envirosun AS solar hot water systems come with a 7 year tank and panel warranty
How does the Envirosun TS Plus solar hot water system work
The solar hot water storage tank and panels are connected together and located on the roof structure, facing in a northerly direction. Hot water has a natural fall and rise cycle, hot water rises and cold water falls to the lowest point, as the sun heats the water in the collector, it rises and then goes into a storage tank.
Hot water rises naturally in the tank – this process is called thermo-siphoning, that’s why this type of solar water heaters are known as thermosyphon solar hot water systems and the Envirosun TS Plus model
The colder water at the bottom of the storage tank then travels into the lowest point of the solar collector panel and as it starts to heat up it rises in the solar panels to the highest point, then through a pipe to the storage tank. (shown in diagram)
The solar hot water panels are a sealed cased box with toughened glass face, a manifold of copper pipes and black powder coated copper absorption plates or fins to attract the heat and with the underside being fully insulated, traps the heat inside to give maximum solar gain and heat transfer to the water
This process is a continuous cycle and can save the average household over 80% of their hot water energy usage and related greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention the money that is saved with this type of solar hot water systems
How does the Envirosun AS split solar hot water system work
The AS “active solar” Envirosun Solar Hot Water Heaters are also known as the split solar hot water system, they offer greater flexibility, improved aesthetics for your home and a larger hot water storage tank capacity
These solar hot water systems only require the solar panels to be installed on the roof with the hot water storage tank located at ground level or any other convenient location throughout the home. Envirosun AS solar hot water system are relatively simple in operation – when the solar hot water panels (also known as solar collectors) are able to add heat into the storage tank, a small pump is switched on to circulate hot-water from the collectors and replace it with cool water from the tank.
The circulation pumps are relatively small and silent, they also draw a negligible amount of power (less than 28 watts) that is also only used when operating or needing solar to increase the hot water storage cylinder’s temperature.
When the collectors are 6°C hotter than the water in the storage tank, the circulating pump is operated. When the differential falls to 4°C or lower, the pump is not operated. The microprocessor also uses the sensor information to control a suite of over-temperature protection modes:
if the water in the Envirosun storage tank reaches 70°C, the solar pump is not operated
if the solar collector panels temperature reaches 190°C, the pump is cycled on to control the temperature to below 185°C therefore protecting the solar panels
if the solar panels temperature reaches 200°C the pump is not operated to prevent damage
if the tank temperature has risen above 70°C and the collectors are cooler the pump is run intermittently to protect the storage tank from damage and overheating
The Envirosun AS smart control system is absolute state of the art with a LED screen to tell you exactly whats going on inside our weatherproof cover
