How Does it Work?

How Does it Work?

1. CO2-based heat pump
2. Touch Screen Display
3. Cellular, Bluetooth, and optional BMS
4. Smart Grid Ready CTA-20.:’.15 Module
5. All-stainless on-demand heat exchanger
6. Twin electric heating elements
7. Glycol Concentration Sensor

LowestGWP
The iE1 uses CO2 refrigerant which has the lowest impact on the environment with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1, zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and better cold weather performance.

Efficient & Healthy
The iE1 absorbs and stores energy from the air in a specially-designed thermal battery. This energy is then used to heat water on­demand without storing it, thereby mitigating Legionella risks. This process is both efficient and healthy.

Grid Connection
This unit is smart grid ready which allows it to collect and store energy when it’s most cost­effective, maximizing return on investment and cutting operational costs.

Additional Electron Products

iE6

The iE6 heat pump unit is installed outside, and the thermal battery, iB3, is installed inside with a simple fluid connection between them.
A key feature of the iE6 is its modular construction. This unit consists of 6 individual Heat pump units, each with its own controller and compressor. Unlike other heat pump systems, this eliminates unnecessary doubling up of equipment to ensure high reliability with lower upfront costs. Automatic rotation and self-balancing ensure equal wear and tear

iB3

The iB3 is a three-pack remote thermal battery to be installed indoors in the companion of the iE6.
The larger iE6 unit is paired with the thermal battery iB3 and installs just like traditional boiler-tank systems simplifying installation and taking out the guesswork. The iE6 heat pump unit is installed outside, and the thermal battery, iB3, is installed inside with a simple fluid connection between them..

FAQs

• Why are current tank-based heat pump designs problematic?
  Current tank-based designs mandate storing large volumes of water and keeping this water stratified at various temperatures. Stratification is necessary to enable tank-based heat pumps achieve COPs greater than 1.5. Unfortunately, water stagnation and stratification temperatures between 77° F – 113° F +foster the ideal conditions for the growth of Legionella bacteria. It is generally presumed that bacteria­contaminated water from this area will be “sanitized” by the hotter water above it, but this method is not guaranteed and places the burden of Legionella risk on the engineers and customers. lntellihot re­invented the Heat Pump Water Heater to fundamentally eliminate these root causes. There is no tank and water is heated on-demand, substantially mitigating Legionella risks. The result: clean, safe, healthy, and efficient hot water.

• Will the Electron series require mixing valves?
  No, mixing valves are not required. The Electron series water heaters will be ASSE – 1082 compliant. The ASSE-1082 standard equates Electron Series T ankless Heaters to thermostatic mixing valves and temperature-limiting devices. Also, the Electron can control water temperature within the tolerances of ASSE 1017 / 1071 standards, and thus, no mixing valves are needed when using Electron units.

• What is the typical maintenance on these units?
  The Electron iE1 is designed for long life and low maintenance. Only one item needs to be serviced at intervals indicated by a “Maintenance Alert” bar on the display. This is the Wye strainer which prevents large debris in the water supply from entering the unit. The unit has sophisticated predictive diagnostics capability, and the life of critical components are shown on the 11 Life Screen .11 It provides guidance for when these parts should be changed.

• What is the life of the thermal battery and are there any safety or disposal issues to be aware of?
  The Thermal Battery is estimated to last over 10 years under normal wear and tear. The battery is designed with high-grade stainless-steel components and factory-supplied food-grade propylene glycol. This food-grade glycol can be safely disposed of in a regular drain. The Thermal Battery can be sent to a typical metal recycling facility. Note: non-biodegradable glycol, especially ethylene glycol (e.g., automotive grade) or non-lntellihot supplied formulations, should never be used to charge the Thermal Battery. Doing so may cause irreparable damage and bodily harm, including death.
