AmbiPower® MDc-180 Heat Pump Water Heater

Rheem

The innovative AmbiPower® MDc-180 Heat Pump water heater has welcomed a new, affordable era of water heating to New Zealand. Rather than using the traditional methods of electricity or gas to heat your home’s water, the AmbiPower® – a heat pump water heater – utilises heat from the surrounding air. As there is always heat in the atmosphere which can be used, the AmbiPower® provides a reliable, efficient, and sustainable way to reduce your water heating energy consumption that doesn’t rely on direct sunlight to operate. The result: a water heater that can save you up to 70% on your water heating energy.

Features

Save up to 70% on your water heating energy consumption compared to an electric water heater. (Energy savings of up to 70% are based on New Zealand Government approved TRNSYS simulation modelling using a medium load and apply when replacing an electric water heater of a similar size with a Rheem® A551180C Heat Pump water heater.)

Sustainability Facts
  • With a Coefficient of Performance (COP) up to 4.9 times better than standard electric storage water heaters, these heat pumps are extremely energy efficient.
  • The majority of AmbiPower's parts are made from recyclable metals.
  • Rheem® Heat Pump water heaters have large anodes, which enhance the life of the water heater.
How Heat Pump Water Heaters Work
  • Heat pump water heaters have a fan that draws outside air into the cylinder through inlet louvres.
  • An evaporator is then able to absorb the heat from the air and transfer it into the water through a heat exchanger.
  • The cold air is discharged through the air outlet louvres and released back into the atmosphere.
  • This process continues until the required water temperature is reached – which means readily available hot water for the household. Even on cloudy or cold days, heat can be drawn from the surrounding air. 

The Future of Hot Water

Developing smart, sustainable and reliable solutions for water heating will not only save Kiwi homes on their monthly bills, but also make an important contribution to lowering our national energy consumption and carbon footprint. Rheem® is working hard to produce sustainable products that contribute to our country’s efforts to reduce emissions.
