A.O Smith HPTU-50N Hybrid Electric
Heat Pump
The A.O Smith Hybrid Electric Heat Pump reduces water heating cost by up to 73% through an innovative design that pulls environmental heat while dehumidifying and cooling the ambient air at the same time.
The HPTU-50N uses heat pump technology to deliver tremendous savings by generating heat through the heat pump technology instead of the heating elements. It offers premium features including a user-friendly display, vacation mode to save money while you are away, and a heavy duty anode that protects your tank for 10 years. In addition to the heat pump technology, this model also has two heating elements that help the water heater recover quickly during periods of high demand.
How Does it Work?
The Voltex Hybrid Electric water heater utilizes heat pump technology to provide a more efficient way to heat water with electricity.
- Heat from the surrounding air is pulled into the heat pump through a fan at the top
- The heat is absorbed by the refrigerant in the heat pump’s evaporator coil
- The temperature of the refrigerant is increased as it is pumped by a compressor
- Hot refrigerant is passed through the condenser coil around the tank and transfers the heat to the water
