Discover the Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 Heat Pump System
Meet the Hydrotherm Dynamic X8, a heat pump hot water system redefining energy efficiency. Here are some key features of the Dynamic X8:
-
Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 4.15
-
Heating capacity of 2.82kW
-
Minimal noise, maxing out at only 43dB
-
Three distinct modes of operation: Standard, Timer, and Boost
The Dynamic X8 delivers high-performance heating with minimal noise and offers adaptability to accommodate diverse hot water requirements.
Beyond its performance metrics, the Dynamic X8 is designed to cater to households with high hot water usage and additional hot water capacity. Its recommended tank capacity ranges from 315L to 400L, making it the perfect solution for families that require a robust hot water supply. But the deal doesn’t stop at impressive specifications. It’s backed by a 6-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind for users while they enjoy their reliable and energy-efficient hot water system.
Energy Efficiency and Savings
You might question the efficiency of a hot water system. The Dynamic X8 can astound you with its 350% efficiency. Yes, you read that right. The Dynamic X8 leaves traditional gas and electric water heaters in the dust when it comes to energy efficiency, resulting in substantial energy cost reductions. Imagine the savings you could enjoy on your energy bills!
The secret to this remarkable efficiency lies in the advanced heat pump technology at the heart of the Dynamic X8. This system allows water to reach temperatures of up to 70°C. But that’s not all - with a generous 260L tank capacity, the Dynamic X8 offers the following benefits:
-
Significantly reduces running costs
-
Can lower annual expenses by up to 350% compared to traditional heating systems
-
Allows you to enjoy a hot water supply while effectively reducing energy consumption
Fundamentally, the Dynamic X8 isn’t merely a hot water system - it’s a behemoth of energy efficiency. It’s a testament to how far heat pump hot water technology has come, providing a rapid supply of hot water without the steep running costs often associated with maintaining a hot water supply.
Dual Heating Technology
Dual heating technology is a prominent feature of the Dynamic X8. This system integrates a heat pump and an electric element to deliver hot water up to 70°C, all while operating with minimal noise. For households with high hot water demand, this feature is a game-changer. Whether you’re filling up the bathtub or doing the dishes, you can count on the Dynamic X8 to deliver.
Boost Mode is another ingenious feature of the Dynamic X8. This mode integrates an electric element to guarantee a sufficient hot water supply, particularly in challenging conditions. This means that even on those chilly winter days, you can still enjoy a hot, comforting bath or shower.
What does this imply in practical terms? Essentially, it signifies energy efficiency. The combination of a heat pump with an incorporated electric element for hot water heating can be two to three times more efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters. This leads to reduced operating expenses, lower effectively energy consumption, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions compared to using electric elements alone.
Environmentally Friendly Hot Water Solution
In a time of heightened environmental awareness, the Dynamic X8 emerges as an eco-friendly hot water heating option. The system uses R290 natural refrigerant, which has no global warming potential in comparison to other refrigerants. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice. But what does this mean for the environment?
The use of R290 natural refrigerant results in:
-
A decrease in the system’s overall global warming potential compared to traditional refrigerants, equivalent to a reduction of 1.7 tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions
-
Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
-
Eco-friendly properties and minimal environmental impact
This contributes to the system’s annual carbon reduction rating, making it a registered clean energy product.
So, by choosing the Dynamic X8, you’re not only choosing an efficient hot water system - you’re also making a choice that benefits the planet.
Compliance with Australian Standards
The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 is not only about remarkable features and environmental consideration - compliance and safety are also paramount. The Dynamic X8 has been designed to meet Australian Standards for construction and performance, guaranteeing you a dependable and compliant hot water solution.
The Dynamic X8 complies with the Australian Standards for Solar & Heat Pump Design, AS/NZS 2712-2007, and AS/NZS 2712-2002. If you’re considering an existing electric upgrade or an existing gas upgrade, the Dynamic X8 meets these standards and delivers efficient water heating.
From a safety perspective, the Dynamic X8 ensures compliance with the following standards and regulations:
-
Electrical Safety Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3350.2.40)
-
Building Code of Australia regulations for hot water heat pumps
-
Potable water quality standards (AS/NZS 4020)
This means you can have peace of mind knowing that the hot water you use every day is not only efficient but also safe and compliant.
