Certificate counts are computed from the model's registered performance data using the current regulated equations. A lodged claim depends on the specific installation, household size, and the scheme rules in force at creation. Energy savings % is against the AS/NZS 4234:2021 reference electric storage water heater for that zone, medium household, calculated from the model's registered performance data.
The Panasonic HE-UM60CR is a split-system CO2 (R744) heat pump water heater paired here with the 315 L HE-TM315AHR glass-lined tank. The outdoor heat pump unit heats water circulated through a water loop to the tank rather than transferring refrigerant directly, and is rated at 5.06 kW heating output with 0.83 kW electric input at AS/NZS 5125 test condition 4, giving a COP of 6.11. The unit is rated to operate down to -10 degrees C outdoor ambient.
R744 is a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 1. The system delivers hot water at 63 degrees C, with no electric backup element referenced in the manual. The 315 L tank is offered in a vitreous-enamel (glass-lined) construction as standard, with a stainless-steel variant (PHE-315ASR) also registered against the same heat pump unit.
The same heat pump and tank combination is registered under the glass-lined and stainless-steel tank codes above. Certificate values are the same across those variants.
