Kelvinator Hot Water
*Update July 2016: Kelvinator no longer available in Australia*
This system is obsolete and unobtainable. Please contact SA Hot Water for an energy efficient alternative.
For the highest quality Australian Hot water systems, Kelvinator are a well-known Australian company now manufacturing hot water systems to the highest quality and standards that they have been renowned for over 90 years. They manufacture all the main types of hot water systems:
- Kelvinator Flat panel solar hot water
- Kelvinator Evacuated tube solar hot water
- Kelvinator Gas continuous flow gas hot water
Kelvinator Solar Hot Water Systems
Consisting of both flat panel solar systems and evacuated tube solar hot water systems.
Kelvinator SolarKnight Flat Panel Solar Hot Water Systems
The Kelvinator SolarKnight flat panel collectors with high efficiency TiNOX coating absorb the heat energy from the sun to rapidly heat water. They can be boosted either by gas or electricity
- Roof inclination required between 10 and 30 degrees
- Install panels on a North facing roof space
- 2 panels require approx.. 4 sqm roof area
- Tank sizes 270 , 340 and 450 Litre and highest quality Vitreous enamel coatings
- Warranty : panels 5yrs / Tank 5yrs
- Annual energy savings in Zone 3 , Adelaide electric boosted system is between 61.5% and 75.9%
Kelvinator SolarKnight Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems
The Kelvinator SolarKnight evacuated tube collectors offer a more efficient way to heat your hot water. SolarKnight evacuated tube technology can handle temperatures down to -15 c . They are recommended for frost prone locations where the ideal orientation and conditions cannot be gained.
These systems work by circulating water through the evacuated tubes using a copper u shaped design. Sunlight passes through the evacuated tube and is absorbed by the aluminum nitride selective surfaces inside which in turn transfer the heat to the water passing through the u tube. The vacuum in the tube minimizes heat loss and protects from freezing in heavy frost areas.
They can be boosted either by gas or electricity.
- Roof inclination required between 10 and 30 degrees
- Install panels on a North facing roof space
- 2 panels require approx.. 4 sqm roof area
- Tank sizes 270 , 340 and 450 Litre and highest quality Vitreous enamel coatings
- Warranty : panels 5yrs / Tank 5yrs
- Annual energy savings in Zone 3 , Adelaide electric boosted system is between 64.5% and 80.8%
Kelvinator Heat Pump hot water systems
Kelvinator Electric heat pump hot water
The Kelvinator EcoKnight heat pump takes heat from the air to provide hot water. Using R410a refrigerant it works day and night in all weather conditions including air temperatures as low as -7 celcius. This means that this system is capable of running on off peak power allowing you to reduce your energy bill all year round
Kelvinator InstaKnight Gas Hot Water Systems (Continuous Flow)
Kelvinator InstaKnight gas continuous flow systems ensure you’ll never run out of strong hot water. Its only heated when you need it, its not stored, so it saves on your energy bills and is kind to the environment.
The Kelvinator InstaKnight gas continuous flow system does not store water. Instead when you turn on your hot water tap, water flows through the unit, heating the water instantly. With the option of a temperature control pad you can set the desired temperature without having to mix with cold water.
The Kelvinator InstaKnight gas continuous flow system is compact so they don’t take up precious space like the traditional hot water tanks. The Kelvinator InstaKnight also has the option of being recessed into the wall using the metal recess box.
