Black Diamond AquaCore Hot Water Heat Pump

The Next Generation in Super Energy Efficient Hot Water Heating.

Save on Your Electricity Bill with a Heat Pump System that Heats Water

You may be surprised that on average, domestic hot water heating accounts for 28%* of a typical power bill in New Zealand. So if you are looking to find ways reduce your monthly power bill, then look no further than the Black Diamond AquaCore hot water heat pump to heat your domestic hot water.

Just like heat pump technology revolutionised home heating in New Zealand, the same technology is now also used to effectively and efficiently heat domestic hot water.

*Based on BRANZ study report SR221, 2010, verified by EECA.How Efficient Is a Hot Water Heat Pump?

The efficiency of a heat pump is known as the Coefficient of Performance or COP. This is a ratio of the heat delivered to power consumed. For every 1kW of electrical input energy, The Black Diamond AquaCore Hot Water Heat Pump absorbs freely available heat energy from the outdoor air to provide the home with approximately 3.6kW of heat output.

*1 Based on manufacturer information for gas instant hot water heater (non-condensing).Compared to typical gas and direct electric heating systems that can have higher running costs with inefficient COPs as low as 0.82*1, Black Diamond AquaCore Hot Water Heat Pump provides a real energy efficient alternative.

How Does it Work and What are the Key Components?

A Black Diamond AquaCore Hot Water Heat Pump is made up of 3 key components that seamlessly work together to provide super energy efficient water heating – the outdoor unit, indoor Heat Exchanger and an existing or new cylinder.

The Outdoor Unit

The Black Diamond AquaCore Hot Water Heat Pump System incorporates an outdoor unit just like any heat pump space heating system. It uses electricity to absorb freely available warmth from the surrounding air and then transfers it to your home so it can provide energy efficient hot water heating all year round.

The system utilises environmentally conscious R32 refrigerant in the outdoor unit which has 1/3 the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of R410A commonly used in other systems, meaning it is better for the environment.

The Indoor Unit

The AquaCore ensures water is heated to 62°C and is fed directly into the top of the cylinder. This means that this water is ready to use straight away. In a traditional electric system it can take hours to heat the water cylinder enough to produce 60°C water from a cold tank situation.

Furthermore, the system features fast recovery of a full water tank and can reheat an entire 180L cylinder in 2 ½ hours where traditional electric cylinders can take up to 3 ¼ hours in winter*.

* Based on tank heat-up test at 10°C ambient temp.

The Hot Water Cylinder

The Black Diamond AquaCore Hot Water Heat Pump System is designed to easily integrate with existing or new hot water cylinders so you can benefit from capital cost savings on retrofits.
