Sanden is a Japanese owned global business, which has earned a solid reputation as a leader in the field of haeting and cooling technology. Our focus is to improve the living standards of all Australians, via the development of environmentally advanced products.
Sanden has more than 50 years experience in the production and global supply of air conditioning compressors. It has applied this advanced understanding of heat transfer technologies to the home environment, resulting in the development of the highly innovative and superior Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump system.
In this regard, the Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System is manufactured in-house at Sanden’s ‘state-of-the-art’ factories in Japan, including the highly efficient, inverter driven compressor unit.

A heat pump is a device that uses a small amount of energy to move heat from one location to another.
The Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System operates like a refrigerator in reverse. It contains a fan that forces air through an evaporator that contains a refrigerant. The heat in the air passes through the evaporator and is absorbed by a natural refrigerant, CO2 (R744) which is ozone friendly and does not contribute to global warming.
The warm gaseous refrigerant is circulated in the system via a compressor. As it passes through the compressor, its pressure rises, as does its temperature. This hot refrigerant then passes through a heat exchanger to heat the water, which is finally pumped to the storage tank.

The Stainless Steel Storage Tank
The end result of employing CO2 (R744) refrigerant technology is that the amount of electrical energy required to heat the water is significantly less than that required by a conventional electric hot water system.
In fact, the Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System consumes 1kW of electricity to generate 4.5 kW of heat (COP = 4.5*), which equates to 22% of the energy used by a conventional electric system. Consequently, with the Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System, you can save up to 78% of your conventional electric hot water energy costs!
The Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System is supplied in two separate modules; 1) Heat Pump Unit and 2) Stainless Steel Storage Tank. This allows easy on-site handling and installation, as well as flexibility of the storage tank location, up to 4 metres distance from the Heat Pump Unit.
The purchase and installation of a Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System may entitle you to Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) if your system is eligible under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. STCs are sold and transferred to liable entities (usually electricity retailers) through a market based online system called the REC Registry, or via the ORER managed STC Clearing House.

A Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) is the equivalent of one megawatt hour of renewable energy generation. The Sanden Hot Water Heat Pump System attracts a large number of STCs, which can be traded for a cash rebate. Eligible households can claim both Federal and State rebates.
