Heat Pump Water Heater Control Board Overview:

The Control Board on the Heat Pump Water Heater monitors the complete heating system and reports any errors through the User Interface Module (UIM). Based on the inputs from the sensors and/or the manual inputs from the UIM, the Control Board determines which heating mode the unit should be in to reach the user set-point.

Above, the Control Board is broken down into four (4) sections. The speciﬁcs of each section are explained in greater detail in the following pages.

RESIDENTIAL HYBRID ELECTRIC HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER, HPE10260H045DV, HPE10280H045DV specifications

The American Water Heater HPE10280H045DV and HPE10260H045DV are pioneering residential hybrid electric heat pump water heaters designed to deliver energy-efficient performance while meeting the hot water demands of modern households. These innovative units fuse traditional electric heating with advanced heat pump technology, allowing for significant reductions in energy consumption compared to conventional electric water heaters.

One of the primary features of these hybrid models is their outstanding energy efficiency ratings. Both units typically achieve an impressive Energy Factor (EF) that reflects their ability to convert electricity into hot water. By utilizing ambient air to heat water, these heat pump water heaters pull in heat from the surrounding environment and transfer it to the water, thus consuming less electricity. This technology not only reduces energy bills but also decreases the overall carbon footprint of the home.

The HPE10280H045DV and HPE10260H045DV boast a sleek, compact design that allows for flexible installation options, making them suitable for various locations within a home. Their user-friendly digital interface provides homeowners with intuitive controls to manage temperature settings and monitor performance. These models are equipped with smart technology that includes an intuitive display for adjusting modes and settings. They feature selectable operating modes, including electric, heat pump, and hybrid, allowing users to choose the most efficient heating method based on current needs.

In terms of capacity, the HPE10280H045DV offers a substantial 80-gallon tank, while the HPE10260H045DV provides a 60-gallon capacity, ensuring that households of different sizes can enjoy ample hot water for showers, laundry, and dishwashing simultaneously. Both models are designed with durability in mind, featuring robust components and corrosion-resistant tanks that promise longevity and maintenance-free operations.

Another significant aspect of these hybrid water heaters is their whisper-quiet operation, which makes them ideal for installation in living spaces or areas close to bedrooms. The noise level is minimized by the efficient insulation and placement of the compressor, ensuring that the serenity of the home is maintained.

In summary, the American Water Heater HPE10280H045DV and HPE10260H045DV represent a leap forward in the water heating industry, combining innovative heat pump technology with user-friendly features, energy efficiency, and ample capacity, making them an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners looking for reliable hot water solutions.
