Most systems include:
The combination varies by application (residences, hotels, hospitals, student housing) but must comply with SANS water-use bylaws.
Heat pumps use a refrigeration cycle to absorb ambient heat and convert it into usable thermal energy, heating water efficiently even in cooler climates. The heated water is stored in steel vessels or Heat Accumulators for stable supply. Correct sizing, installation, and maintenance are essential for SANS-compliant, efficient systems.
Types:
Correct sizing prevents heat loss, improves efficiency, and avoids issues like Legionella risk.
Good balancing prevents energy waste and ensures stable hot water supply.
Good design:
Mechanical hot water plants must allow space for equipment plus clearance for airflow and maintenance.
Examples:
SANS guidelines determine space requirements per building type.
Sizing depends on:
