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 Vanward KR35/160DN4-A is a split-system heat pump water heater: an outdoor R32 heat pump unit (model KR35/DN4-A) connected by water pipes to a 160 L stand-alone storage tank, recirculating water between the two. The WaterMark certificate for the tank lists SPC steel construction with an enamel lining, G3/4 inlet and outlet connections, an 850 kPa maximum working pressure, and a nominated maximum delivery temperature of 60 degC.
The KR35/DN4-A heat pump unit is the same OEM module Vanward supplies to the Earthworker Energy and Neopower brands for their 250 L and 315 L split systems, so its performance figures are known from that manual: 3.5 kW rated heating capacity, 865 W rated power input, a 770 g R32 charge, and operation across an ambient range of -7 to 43 degC at a measured sound level of 51 dB(A). The unit measures 931 x 407 x 551 mm and weighs 50 kg net.
KR35/160N4-A is the same physical product under a separate WaterMark certificate line; both share identical tank and connection specifications.
