Quantum Energy Technologies
2a: One Of The World’s Most Energy Efficient Methods Of Water Heating
Congratulations on your purchase of a Quantum Energy Technologies Pool or Floor or Water
Heater. Proper installation and service of your new heating system and correct chemical
maintenance of the water will ensure many years of low cost heating.
QUANTUM ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Pty Ltd designs and manufactures energy efficient
Heat Pump water heaters. The simplest way to explain the advantage of this heater is that it
saves energy in any weather, even at night. The system can save up to 75% of the energy
typically used by conventional pool or building heating systems; greatly reducing heating costs.
As the name indicates, a Heat Pump is a machine that pumps heat from a low temperature
source to a high temperature reservoir. It has a cold side to absorb heat at low temperatures and
a hot side to deliver heat at high temperatures.
In the Quantum Pool or Floor or Water Heater, the cold side of the refrigeration circuit is an air
conditioning coil. This coil absorbs the heat from the air that is forced through it by means of
the fan.
QUANTUM water heaters can save energy in countries all around the globe. They are used in
all weather conditions for domestic, commercial and industrial applications, and are regarded as
one of the most energy efficient water heaters in the world. This is your assurance that you
have purchased one of the highest quality water heaters available, one that will provide pool or
building heating safely, economically and for many years to come.
Warranty Return Card
Enclosed you will find a warranty card - please fill in the details and return immediately. This
will ensure prompt service under warranty, if required. See section 6 for terms of warranty.
2b: Application Note For Pool Heaters - Heat Loss
About 50% of all the energy lost from a pool is from the surface of the water. If the pool is
enclosed or uses a pool cover / blanket then the size and cost of the pool heater, as well its
running costs will be reduced. The higher the temperature that the pool water has to be heated
to, the greater is the rate at which heat energy is needed to heat the pool water. This will mean
higher operating costs.

Section 3: HEAT PUMP OPERATION
3a: Quantum Heat Pump Pool /Floor/Water Heater
The heat pump pool heater developed by Quantum is an extremely efficient method of heating
a swimming pool, floor ,water or similar application. This new technology combines the direct
energy gain of an air-sourced evaporator with the constant heat acquirement of a high
performance heat pump.
The main components of the Quantum heat pump pool or floor heating system are: -
High efficiency heat exchanger (as hot side condenser)
Air sourced fin coil (as evaporator)
Thermostatic expansion valve
Efficient rotary compressor
The heat exchanger for pool heating is made with Titanium especially suitable for chlorinated
pool water.
The system uses the commonly available R22 or R407C or R417A refrigerant.
The 2.7kW Quantum pool heater is designed for domestic use but can also be used on smaller
commercial applications.
The Quantum heating system produces an operating sound of a similar type and level to the
outdoor unit of an air conditioner.
3b: Principle Of Operation
There is a flow switch installed which detects water flow through the heat exchanger. The
Digital Controller has a time delay at start, this time delay is set at 10 minutes. Once water
pressure has been detected, the Digital Controller will begin its time delay period. Heat pump
operation will commence after the time delay period has completed.
The time delay is also activated when any protection device restarts the system, including the
Digital Controller. The unit will be turned on or off by the Digital Controller, as part of normal
operation, in accordance with the water temperature and the set point of the Digital Controller.
When the Digital Controller, sensing a low water temperature, calls for the unit to restart, the
time delay will again be activated and the compressor will not begin operation until completion
of the time delay period.
Within 5 minutes of operation, the system will stabilise and it should be possible to observe a
temperature difference between the water inlet and outlet of approximately 4° C to 6° C,
depending on the ambient temperature.
