Heat pumps in the form of home refrigerators, air conditioners, etc, have been available for many years. The common kitchen fridge is a heat pump that removes energy from the cold box and transfers this heat to the outside air.
Your heat pump is a similar machine which removes heat from the outside air in large volumes which it discharges to waste. It transfers this energy to the water which in turn becomes hotter. This results in large savings as a result of the use of the free heat energy in the air - a heat pump will typically SAVE you 80% of the running costs of an equivalent electric element heater.
Cuts electric and Diesel heating bills by up to 85%
That’s quite a statement. But the track record of the ECONOMIZER speaks for itself. Satisfied customers and consulting engineers involved are on file.
The cost of heating hot water will be reduced by 70% if electricity is the current energy source, and by up to 85% if the source is diesel-fired. The ECONOMIZER is ideal for any situation where hot water (or hot fluid) is required at or below 60 degrees C – and it can be plugged into an existing system.
The Concept: Free energy from the air
Most water heaters are designed to take cold water and spend valuable power and energy heating it to an acceptable temperature. This method is becoming more and more prohibitive as the cost of fuel and electricity soars. The ECONOMIZER, on the other hand, uses the free heat in the air and transfers it to the water – efficiently and cheaply.
There’s nothing new about heat pumps. But never before has the technology of heat transfer been so effectively applied. The ECONOMIZER is the first system that provides the end product – hot water – at the temperature the user requires, without additional input.
The ECONOMIZER is a self-contained, compact unit and it can be plugged into any existing system with ease. There is no need for new tanks and new water feeds.
The ECONOMIZER is sealed and trouble free. It is also fail-safe. It is equipped with automatic fault-finding light indicators, and in the unlikely event of a malfunction, the problem will show up instantly and clearly enabling even an unskilled person to rectify it by following a simple procedure.
The real challenge lies in individual application of Tekniheat’s systems. The system can extract heat energy from water or other fluids instead of air – opening the door to a whole range of industrial uses.
The by-product of the ECONOMIZER system is cold air which may be used for air-conditioning purposes. This can be ducted to any area of choice
