Sanden Storage Tank, 83 gal, Stainless Steel

The Sanden SANCO2 Heat Pump Water Heater is a highly energy efficient alternative to traditional electric or gas water heaters. It absorbs heat from the outside air to heat water – saving energy, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Heat pump water heaters commonly use synthetic refrigerants, such as R410A or R134A. Although these refrigerants do not deplete the ozone layer, they can have a significant impact on global warming. The CO2 refrigerant uniquely used in the SANCO2 system has an extremely low Global Warming Potential*, and CO2, a natural refrigerant, does not deplete the ozone layer. The SANCO2 system uses an inverter-type compressor, DC fan motor and pump. Our design minimizes energy consumption, maximizes water-heating capacity, and allows for faster recovery, resulting in significantly lower operating costs than electric-resistance storage water heaters or conventional heat pump water heaters. The tank is installed indoors and the heat pump outdoors (up to 50 feet away) with only water piping connections required between the two. This flexible SANCO2 design offers several advantages including maintaining comfortable indoor air temperatures (unlike conventional heat pump water heaters that ’scavenge’ heat from the indoor air), along with reducing in-home noise.
