Ecodan QUHZ CO2 Hot Water Heat Pump for Domestic Hot Water and Space Heating

The Ecodan QUHZ is the next generation in environmentally friendly hot water heating. Utilising CO2 as a safe and naturally occurring refrigerant with zero Ozone Depletion potential (ODP) and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 1, the QUHZ provides domestic hot water and space heating with minimal environmental impact.

Specifically designed to operate with exceptionally high efficiency in the production of hot water, the QUHZ outdoor unit provides very quiet operation as low as 43dBA* and built-in energy monitoring as standard.

The 4kW system can heat the whole home easily with temperatures up to 60°C for radiators or underfloor heating. With combined domestic hot water, the QUHZ is a low carbon footprint option and is the number one choice for developers, architects and homeowners wanting to add value to their project.

Why CO2 Refrigerant?

The growing emphasis on global warming mitigation has stimulated interest in a new generation of low-Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants and many of the new refrigerants being created feature GWP’s around 500 to 600 or even less. However, nothing can compete with CO2 and its GWP of 1 – it provides the reference point for environmental impact that all other refrigerants are measured against.

Key Features

Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant with Low Global Warming Potential

  • The QUHZ Ecodan Hot Water Heat Pump utilises CO2 as it is an environmentally friendly, safe and natural refrigerant with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1.

The Energy Efficient Alternative to Typical Gas and Direct Electric Heating Systems

  • The efficiency of a heat pump is known as the Coefficient of Performance or COP. This is a ratio of the heat delivered to power consumed. For every 1kW of electrical input energy, Ecodan absorbs renewable heat energy from the outdoor air to provide a home with over 4kW*1 of heat output. Compared to typical gas and direct electric heating systems that can have higher running costs with COPs as low as 0.82*2, Ecodan provides an energy efficient alternative.

*1The overall system efficiency and energy savings will depend on the comparison with your current heating system, satisfactory system design and installation, and operational settings i.e. how you use the heating system.

*2Based on manufacturer information for gas instant hot water heater (non-condensing).

Class Leading Low Noise Operation at 43dBA*3 for Outdoor Unit

  • Specific outdoor unit design features enable quiet operation to be maintained in all modes of operation and all ambient conditions. Low noise output also allows improved flexibility in the installation location of the heat pump. The Ecodan QUHZ allows residential areas that are particularly sensitive to outdoor noise to benefit from renewable heating technology.

*3Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measured at 1m from the outdoor unit.

Built-in Energy Monitoring

  • On-screen power usage information means you have the visibility and freedom to efficiently manage your overall hot water power consumption.
  • The daily and weekly timers let you take advantage of off-peak rates and save even more on your power bills.

Intuitive Temperature Management

  • The intelligent Flow Temperature Controller actively manages the heat required via the combined user interface and thermostat.
  • At the same time as managing the heat load with minimal energy use, this system will manage the hot water by checking the tank for a 15°C drop in the temperature.

Pre-Plumbed 200 Litre Thermal Store Offers Quick Potable Hot Water and Legionella Protection

  • The Ecodan QUHZ provides hot water to the home using a dedicated pre-plumbed 200 litre thermal store. The thermal store is quickly topped up to the target temperature when required and ensures hot water is always on tap.
  • Mains cold water is then heated instantaneously as it passes through a plate heat exchanger and the hot water produced is sent directly to the outlets ready to use.
  • An added benefit includes no risk of legionella associated with traditional hot water tanks as the potable hot water is not stored in the system.

Add Value to Your Home with a Hot Water Heat Pump

  • Implementing a hot water heat pump system into your new build is an investment that not only reduces electricity bills but is sure to make a real impression with potential homebuyers in the future.
