How a Geyser Heat Pump works.

A geyser heat pump, also known as a hot water heat pump, is an energy-efficient system designed to heat water for residential or commercial use. It utilizes the principles of heat transfer to extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the water in the geyser.

• Compressor
• Condenser
• Expansion Valve
• Refrigerant

Essentially the water from the geyser is heated though the following process and not via the element that’s in your geyser.

Operation process includes heat absorption via the ambient air which the fan blows over causing heat transfer.

Compression, the refrigerant passes through the compressor increasing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant inside the Geyser heat pump.

 

This automated process is repeated until the set point is reach with the homeowner sets on the thermostat controller. Its very important to not that this energy transformation is far more cost effective than having the traditional element in your geyser.
