A7 AirTap install (ASHP hot water heater)
Here's the links:
AirGenerate http://airgenerate.xbitech.com/Media...ion_Manual.pdf Web links? An Affordable Heat-Pump Water-Heater Retrofit- GreenSource Magazine Airgenerate_AirTap_Installation_Upgreen Store - YouTube http://411plumb.com/airgenerate-a7-airtap-review/ Specifications: (Ambient Temp. 68˚F) Max Water Temp: 130˚F Energy Factor 2.2 1st Hour Rating (40 gal tank): 44.5 Gallons Output kW 6.5 kW (Hybrid average) Dimensions 18" x 14" x 14" (height) Weight 50 lbs Noise 50 db AirTap™ Installation Requirements Volts 115 Amps 6 operating (12A start) Phase 1 Frequency 60 Hz Space (ventilated or ducted) 250 cubic feet Space (unventilated) 1,000 cubic feet The goal is to discontinue burning oil for hot water and use the A7 AirTap ASHP. Step 1. Will be product testing (as described in the manual), hopefully this weekend. I'll post my findings and some pictures. Step 2. Select the size and shape of the hotwater storage tank (aka electric hotwater heater), and order it. Step 3. Install the hardware, when the tank is delivered. Here's a block diagram of the new system.
