Domestic hot water is done with the addition of a 160 Foot cooper coil that is placed internal inside the Thermo2000 AltSource buffer tank. With such a high surface area, the coil is able to produce up to 96% efficiency providing on-demand hot water.
The Arctic Heat Pump can maintain hot water tank temperature in the Summer while still providing cooling. This is done via a two-tank system – the hot water tank will be priority maintaining temperature, then switching back to the cooling load when the hot water demand is complete.
For those that only have a heating load, a single tank design can be implemented. During the summer, 100% of the domestic hot water heat pump will be achieved through the arctic heat pump and the AltSource domestic hot water coil.
