Residential HPWH Modelling Documentation

Overview of documents required to model a HPWH for residential schemes.

The following documents are required for residential HPWH applications:

AS/NZS 5125.1 HP COP Performance Report

  • Raw test data at 1-minute intervals for test condition 2 (19°C ambient) and low-temperature test (1-2°C ambient).
  • Regression spreadsheet calculations.

AS/NZS 4692 Tank Heat Loss Test Report

Tank Drawing

  • Must show the height/volume above all fittings, elements, and sensors.
  • Include the tank/system model name.
  • Specify the tank wall thickness.
  • Ensure it’s in English.
  • For standalone HP, provide a schematic drawing and tank drawing.
  • For integral HP, include a drawing of the microchannel HX (if applicable).

Control Settings

  • Set point/dead band.
  • Legionella control method – daily 45%/weekly 90%.
  • For standalone HP only, provide pipework insulation specifications: thickness and thermal conductivity (as specified in the installation manual).
