00:00:13.780 a heat pump system is a form of solar 00:00:18.90000:00:18.910 water heating that does not rely on 00:00:20.91000:00:20.920 direct sunlight it works by extracting 00:00:24.24000:00:24.250 heat from the atmosphere using a 00:00:26.40000:00:26.410 refrigerant gas and compressor what 00:00:29.51900:00:29.529 actually happens in the process when 00:00:31.10900:00:31.119 this is actually operating as we can see 00:00:33.20900:00:33.219 it's got a cowling here that allows the 00:00:36.09000:00:36.100 air to get sucked through by this fan 00:00:37.83000:00:37.840 here and that air will the heat out of 00:00:39.81000:00:39.820 that air actually gets drawn across the 00:00:41.43000:00:41.440 evaporator box on the inside and that's 00:00:43.59000:00:43.600 what starts the heating transfer process 00:00:45.90000:00:45.910 the you know that actually is pretty 00:00:47.52000:00:47.530 much like your fridge in fact it's the 00:00:49.31900:00:49.329 reverse of your fridge if you look at 00:00:50.70000:00:50.710 the back of your fridge one day you 00:00:51.72000:00:51.730 might see a compressor like this and 00:00:53.22000:00:53.230 it's actually usually quite hot at the 00:00:55.02000:00:55.030 back your fridge and it's cold on the 00:00:56.63900:00:56.649 inside of the fridge what happens here 00:00:58.61900:00:58.629 is that the cold air gets blown out here 00:01:00.68900:01:00.699 and the heat is actually trapped here 00:01:02.48900:01:02.499 and that's what heats the water in the 00:01:03.93000:01:03.940 tank what we have here is an evaporator 00:01:07.29000:01:07.300 box very much like the radiator on your 00:01:11.01000:01:11.020 car and inside here we have refrigerant 00:01:12.84000:01:12.850 in these coils now that refrigerant has 00:01:15.18000:01:15.190 a an ambient temperature of minus 25 00:01:17.99900:01:18.009 degrees so when this air actually hits 00:01:20.63900:01:20.649 that that's actually quite hot too that 00:01:22.35000:01:22.360 refrigerant and that fan is pulling the 00:01:25.17000:01:25.180 air through it and that's what heats up 00:01:26.70000:01:26.710 the refrigerant and actually then it 00:01:28.53000:01:28.540 gets compressed in here to further heat 00:01:30.92900:01:30.939 it and then it's actually dissipated the 00:01:32.99900:01:33.009 coil if you like has dissipated around 00:01:34.41000:01:34.420 the outside of the tank and that's what 00:01:36.38900:01:36.399 creates the heat energy onto the hot 00:01:38.58000:01:38.590 water and it cools down the refrigerant 00:01:40.74000:01:40.750 as it gets to the bottom it comes back 00:01:42.42000:01:42.430 up and starts the process again so I 00:01:44.70000:01:44.710 gets heated up again it's compressed 00:01:46.56000:01:46.570 again and around it goes until the water 00:01:48.63000:01:48.640 hits the desired temperature consumer 00:01:53.03900:01:53.049 interest in heat pump water heaters 00:01:54.87000:01:54.880 continues to grow as there is 00:01:56.88000:01:56.890 considerably less energy consumption 00:01:58.88900:01:58.899 than a conventional electric water 00:02:00.92900:02:00.939 heater this means lower running costs 00:02:03.63000:02:03.640 and less co2 emissions the running costs 00:02:07.80000:02:07.810 on the solar heat pumps are generally 00:02:09.71000:02:09.720 significantly less than electric units 00:02:12.30000:02:12.310 given that you're only using a small 00:02:13.59000:02:13.600 amount of power to run a a compressor on 00:02:15.57000:02:15.580 a fan most of the heat energy is drawn 00:02:18.12000:02:18.130 from the year in the heat transfer 00:02:20.79000:02:20.800 process so you know you could look up to 00:02:24.14900:02:24.159 savings of you know 75% a year on a 00:02:26.79000:02:26.800 traditional electric unit as solar heat 00:02:30.30000:02:30.310 pumps don't require roof panels the 00:02:32.82000:02:32.830 installation time and cost is greatly 00:02:34.89000:02:34.900 reduced some of the benefits of the 00:02:38.19000:02:38.200 solar heat pumps have our traditional 00:02:40.19900:02:40.209 solar units ease the ease of 00:02:41.67000:02:41.680 installation and in some of the existing 00:02:44.69900:02:44.709 properties it may be too difficult to 00:02:46.19900:02:46.209 put actual panels on your roof or you 00:02:49.17000:02:49.180 know you might be in a completely shady 00:02:50.43000:02:50.440 spot where you where you don't get any 00:02:52.17000:02:52.180 benefits of having a solar unit so with 00:02:54.57000:02:54.580 a heat pump it can work in the shade it 00:02:56.49000:02:56.500 can work in the sunlight rain hail shine 00:02:58.32000:02:58.330 so there's some advantages there they 00:03:01.53000:03:01.540 also work without any electric boost at 00:03:03.42000:03:03.430 all down to minus 10 degrees so there's 00:03:05.55000:03:05.560 not really many places in Australia 00:03:07.19900:03:07.209 where that happens so there's no ill 00:03:09.89900:03:09.909 effects from Frost's or hail or any of 00:03:12.11900:03:12.129 that energy given that there are no roof 00:03:13.94900:03:13.959 panels involved there are cash rebates 00:03:18.00000:03:18.010 available to anyone installing a hot 00:03:20.28000:03:20.290 water system so check with the relevant 00:03:22.61900:03:22.629 authorities to find out how much of a 00:03:24.92900:03:24.939 refund you can expect at the moment 00:03:28.97900:03:28.989 solar heat pumps attract a federal 00:03:31.25900:03:31.269 government rebate a renewable energy 00:03:33.11900:03:33.129 certificate is actually issued with h 00:03:35.16000:03:35.170 unit that's actually purchased there's 00:03:37.14000:03:37.150 certain terms and conditions on these 00:03:38.75900:03:38.769 but generally speaking if you're putting 00:03:41.55000:03:41.560 it in a new home or you're replacing an 00:03:43.05000:03:43.060 existing unit you'll you'll attract a 00:03:46.25900:03:46.269 rebate of say between seven to eight 00:03:48.53900:03:48.549 hundred dollars on one of our standard 00:03:50.49000:03:50.500 type units and the federal government 00:03:53.16000:03:53.170 also recently announced a further $1,000 00:03:56.30900:03:56.319 rebate when you replace an electric 00:03:58.35000:03:58.360 storage unit as well on top of that 00:04:00.27000:04:00.280 again you can also get certain state 00:04:01.89000:04:01.900 rebates based on replacing or getting 00:04:05.91000:04:05.920 solar units in your home so you at the 00:04:08.61000:04:08.620 moment you've got three general levels 00:04:10.14000:04:10.150 to 00:04:11.43000:04:11.440 offset the capital cost on a solar unit 00:04:13.98000:04:13.990 a heat pump system can be installed by 00:04:16.97900:04:16.989 any licensed plumber this installation 00:04:19.65000:04:19.660 took less than an hour
