Domestic Hot Water Heat Pump
| Rheem Heat Pump Water Heater |
Super Efficient. Super Savings.
The
Rheem heat pump water heater has over TWICE the efficiency of standard
electric water heaters. If your annual energy cost for hot water
is $520, you can save as much as $286 per year. In addition, the
Rheem heat pump water heat is ENERGY STAR® rated and qualifies for
federal tax credits through December 2010. Additional state and
local incentives or rebates may also be available.

Rheem's
Most Advanced, Energy-efficient Water Heater You Can Own
Rheem air-source heat pump water heaters work much like
a refrigerator in reverse. The heat pump extracts the heat from warm
air, intensifies the heat with a compressor, delivers the heat to the
water, and exhausts the cooler air. Because it uses the warm ambient air
temperature to do most of the work, it is a very efficient way to heat
water.

How the Rheem Heat Pump Water Heater Works
In “Energy Saver” mode, this water heater’s high efficiency heat pump
operates automatically for hot water storage in this sequence:
- A fan pulls air through the top air filter.
- Heat in the air is absorbed by eco-friendly
refrigerant inside the evaporator coil and cool
(dehumidified) air is exhausted.
- Refrigerant is pumped through a compressor, which
increases the temperature.
- Simultaneously the cooler water from the bottom of
the tank is pumped to the top of the appliance, where it
circulates through a patented condenser coil.
- Hot refrigerant transfers its heat to the water
inside the condenser coil.
- Heated water is returned back to the top of the
tank.
- All functions are controlled simultaneously by an
advanced circuit board located behind the user touch
pad.
- In “Normal” mode, the heat pump can
run in tandem with an electric element
during periods of high demand.
- In “Electric Heat Only” mode, the
heat pump is disabled and the appliance
operates like a standard electric water
heater with two elements.
- Condensate drain connection.
- Backup electric heating elements.

Choose the Right Installation Site
For best heat pump operation, the temperature in your region should
average 40 degrees or above. Choose a warm installation site like an
attic, garage or basement. Because a heat pump tends to cool the area
where they are located, any type of air-source heat pump works more
efficiently in a warm location. The heat pump will need 1,000 cubic feet
of air space around it (approx. 10x10x10 ft. room).
