iStore Heat Pumps
The iStore 270 heat pump stands out as a leading hot water solution for Australian homes offered by a brand known for its innovative technology. Like other iStore heat pumps, it utilizes renewable energy to generate hot water.
With advanced technology, iStore heat pumps extract thermal energy from the air and efficiently transfer it to the water, providing heating. This heating method is far more efficient. In fact, the heat pumps can reduce energy consumption by up to 70% in comparison to conventional systems.
The iStore heat pumps also have added functionality in that they can work with solar panels and timers. This enables them to make the best possible use of your solar energy or your off-peak power, adjusting the system to your household’s water heating requirements for the day.
How iStore works
-
A fan draws in air, containing heat energy, across the evaporator.
-
The liquid refrigerant is converted into gas by the evaporator.
-
The hot gas refrigerant is compressed into a high-pressure hot gas.
-
The hot gas in the condenser coil transfers heat to the water in the coil-wrapped tank.
-
The refrigerant cools back to a liquid after heating the water and moves to the evaporator to start the process over.
-
The process keeps repeating until the target temperature is reached.
-
The cycle will repeat once the temperature of the hot water tank falls below 45 °C.
