How the Reclaim Heat Pump System Works
The Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System consists of a heat pump (compressor) and a storage tank (stainless steel or glass lined). The system’s heat exchange collects heat from the air surrounding the unit to use as energy to heat up a pressurised refrigerant, which is ozone friendly CO2.
The unit can supply in excess of five units of heat energy from ambient air for every unit of electricity it consumes, meaning the cost of energy used to produce hot water is minimised. The CO2 Heat Pump has excellent cold weather performance characteristics, meaning there is no need for a boosting element to supplement heating for the unit.
TYPES OF HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS
There are 2 types of heat-pump hot water systems:
Integrated systems
In an integrated system the heat pump is often mounted on top of the storage cylinder, including evaporator, fan, compressor, and condenser. In some cases, the evaporator (which absorbs heat from the air) is separate from the storage cylinder or wrapped around it. As these systems come in a single unit, they’re generally heavier than split systems.
Split systems
In split systems, the evaporator, fan and compressor are located in a separate unit and connected to the storage cylinder by refrigerant piping – the heated refrigerant gas passes through a heat exchanger located inside the cylinder to heat the water. They’re quite similar to a split system air conditioner.
Why Choose Reclaim?
The Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System Advantages
- Energy efficient and money saving
- Easy to install
- CO2 refrigerant ideally suited to excel in cold weather conditions
- CO2 refrigerant naturally environmentally friendly
- High coefficient of performance (COP) creating high energy from low energy input
- Quietest system on the market with an average noise level of 37dB
- One shot boost function for continuous hot water
- Designed to use excess PV generation rather than exporting it to the grid
- Smart Controller allows control over energy costs and consumption
- STC and VEEC approved
- Top down Heat Pump*
*Top down Heat Pump return heating for quick water recovery because constant hot water from heat pump is returning to the top of the tank (i.e. unlike electric systems where elements are bottom and heat is generated from the bottom of tank and hot water is not available in the next 2-3 hours of element activation)

Take Control Your Way
With a Reclaim Heat Pump you have the option two controller options. Both options give you complete control over your system. One, however, gives you a little bit more control for those on the go and for those who want to know more details about how their system is performing. Take a look at the difference between the two and if you have any further questions please contact us.
