A modular integrated heat pump cylinder has been launched by Mixergy, designed to offer both low carbon benefits and fast hot water.
The Mixergy iHP uses the company’s patented smart Stratos technology, a modular heat pump which heats water from the top down, to deliver useable hot water in around 30 minutes.
The new cylinder also brings with it other ‘smart’ advances including top-down heating, smart tariff use and machine learning.
The solution was recently awarded the Housebuilder Brand New Product of the Year Award. The company behind the iHP, Mixergy, calls it “truly revolutionary”.
Mixergy says its new iHP allows the user to optimise their energy use to save even more on their energy output and carbon footprint, while enjoying a cylinder that can meet the heated water needs of a modern household.
Pete Armstrong, CEO of Mixergy says: “We are thrilled to have won Product of the Year from Housebuilder which recognises our new integrated Heat Pump (iHP) cylinder. The iHP delivers hot water ten times faster within a product designed to last four times longer than alternative systems on the market. Combining Mixergy’s ‘heat what you need’ approach to hot water storage alongside the capability of our state of charge sensor, connectivity and machine learning, the iHP is future proofed to make the most of renewable energy whether it comes from rooftop solar PV or flexible tariffs connected to offshore wind.”
Mixergy says the iHP also benefits from being up to a third smaller than rival systems on the market. This, added to the fact that the design allows the heat pump to be detached from the cylinder, could make it easier to transport, fit and maintain.
iHP comes with a 25-year warranty on the cylinder.
