Solahart Atmos Frost Heat Pump: Key Features
WHY ATMOS FROST IS A SMART CHOICE
Solahart Atmos® Frost 270HAV Heat Pump offers the perfect balance of energy efficiency and all-climate reliability. With a 270-litre tank and a high Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 4.5, it’s designed to reduce reliance on traditional electric heating while providing consistent hot water, even in colder regions.
This system uses ambient air to heat water, making it a sustainable alternative to solar or electric systems. Its tough exterior, smart LED controls, and wrap-around microchannel heating make it an ideal solution for medium to large households.
Micro-channel Technology
Provides a larger contact area to maximise heat transfer efficiency. The wrap-around design of the micro-channels enables installation in harsh water areas.Side Fan Design
A design that provides maximum airflow and protects from the rain.
Smart LED Controller Display
A bright interactive LED touchscreen display putting control at your fingertipsEnamel-Lined Water Tank
The high-quality durable enamel coating reduces the risk of corrosion and water leakage.- COP OF 4.5: Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 4.5** making it a highly efficient water heater to help reduce energy consumption
- Heavy Duty Top Cover: The ASA^ top cover withstands harsh weather conditions.

# Energy savings of up to 73% are based on Australian Government approved TRNSYS simulation modelling using a medium load in Zone 3 and apply when replacing an electric water heater of similar size with a Solahart 270HAV24 Heat Pump water heater. Any savings will vary depending upon your location, type of water heater being replaced, hot water consumption and fuel tariff. Before installation - seek advice as to suitability to household usage and tariffs. The impact on an electricity account will depend on the tariff arrangement of the water heater being replaced and where you live. The water heater is recommended for connection to an uninterrupted 24 hour continuous tariff power supply. Depending upon the size of the household and its hot water requirements and if the Electricity Retailer permits, an extended off-peak (overnight and day) or Extended time controlled power supply connection of a minimum 16 hours per day may also be suitable. Before purchase consult your energy provider for more information on cost comparisons.

How it works
How Heat Pump Water Heaters Work
The efficient heat pump technology extracts energy from the surrounding air. Ambient warmth is used to convert the refrigerant within the sealed system into a gas. The gas is then compressed to generate even more heat which then heats the water in the tank. What’s more this process can work day or night, in sunshine and rain, all year round.
When hot water is drawn off and cold water enters the tank, the thermostat activates the fan and the compressor. The operation of the compressor causes a pressure difference within the sealed refrigeration system. This pressure difference causes the refrigerant to move around the sealed system. The refrigerant enters the evaporator as a liquid. As the refrigerant absorbs heat from the atmosphere it changes state, at low pressure, from a sub cooled liquid to a super-heated vapour or gas (evaporates). The vapour then enters the compressor and obtains more heat, known as heat of compression, and passes into the heat exchanger as a super-heated vapour at high pressure.
As the refrigerant passes through the micro-channel heat exchanger wrapped around the storage cylinder, it gives off heat which is absorbed by the water inside the cylinder. As the refrigerant gives off heat it cools and changes state back into a liquid (condenses). The refrigerant then enters the evaporator again and the cycle is repeated. The resulting cold air is then discharged through the air outlet louvers back to atmosphere. This process continues while ever heating is required until the water in the storage tank reaches a temperature of 60°C.
