The
SIRAC
Domestic
Hot
Water
Heat
pump
is
a
product
that
is
specifically
designed
to
heat
water.
It
provides
hot
water
at
a
maximum
efficiency
in
extreme
operating
conditions.
The
unit
can
operate
with
existing
high
or
low
pressure
geysers.
The
unit
is
essentially
plug
n
play
with
minimal
plumbing
and
power
connections.

Features:
Large
evaporator
coil
This
increases
the
evaporator
pressure
at
low
ambient
temperatures.
Specifically
designed
to
operate
with
refrigerant
R417a.
This
refrigerant
has
a
much
lower
discharge
pressure
and
temperature
than
R410a
and
R407c.
Reduced
pressure
and
temperature
prolongs
the
operating
life
of
the
compressor
and
provides
a
stable
performance.
The
large
evaporator
coil
gives
increased
heating
efficiency
at
low
ambient
temperatures
and
high
altitude
conditions
while
at
the
same
time
reducing
the
energy
consumption.
Two

Evaporator
fans
The
fan
runs
on
high
speed
at
low
ambient
temperature
conditions
and
low
speed
at
high
ambient
temperatures.
This
setting
is
programmable
on
the
microprocessor.
This
provides
a
stable
and
efficient
refrigeration
cycle
at
the
varying
operating
conditions.

Internal flow control Valve The SIRAC Domestic Heat Pump is factory fitted with a Flow Control Device. This control device varies the water flow through the heat exchanger to maintain a constant gas condensing pressure. The gas pressure is directly related to the gas condensing temperature. Controlling this pressure at a specific set point insures that the water leaving temperature is maintained >50 deg. c. This allows the hot water to be connected directly to the geyser hot water outlet pipe. No water connections are made to the actual geyser. This prevents temperature mixing in the geyser. Internal circulating pump Reduces on site labour and additional fittings. Automatic air bleed factory installed Protects the pump against operating with an air lock. The heat pump can be installed above the geyser. Speeds up commissioning time. Large electrical panel. Easy connection terminals and good access to the electrical components. Separate electrical panel cover. Attractive strong protective evaporator grille that reduces vibration and coil damage. Heavy Gauge Epoxy Coated Galvanized Steel Casing Removable panels allow good service access to all components Separate easy access compartment for the circulating pump, Flow Control Valve and Air Release Valve. Ultra thin SIRAC Proprietary hot water sensor provided as standard. This sensor can be installed in the existing geyser thermostat pocket while still retaining the standard geyser thermostat
