Heating Equipment – Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US (METUS) Heat2O® Heat Pump Water Heater
METUS Heat2O® Heat Pump Water Heater is an all-electric, cold-climate heat pump water heater designed to reduce the environmental impact of high-volume domestic hot water (DHW) through energy-efficient operation using CO2 refrigerant. The system includes components designed and selected to ensure installation quality and optimal performance of the heat pump, including hot water storage tanks, swing tanks, secondary heat exchangers, and variable-speed secondary circuit pumps. It was these features and more that propelled the Heat2O to the front of the line as the 2022 Commercial Comfort Product of the Year in the Heating Equipment category.
The unit’s use of CO2, a natural and environmentally friendly refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) of 1 and an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0, is designed to help commercial facilities qualify for rigorous sustainability criteria and certifications, such as passive house status. As such, the Heat2O reduces on-site carbon emissions in the production of DHW.
