The Voltex hybrid water heater mates a heat pump water heater with an electric storage water heater. Heat pump water heaters are very efficient. They operate much like your refrigerator or air conditioner. They pull heat out of the air and instead of transferring it to back to the air as your air conditioner does, it uses it to heat water.
Heat pump water heaters work just like heat pumps in refrigerators and window air conditioners. Its much less expensive to move heat around than it is to generate heat with electricity. The heat pump water heater uses a heat exchanger to cool the air and the recovered heat from the air is put into the water with a second heat exchanger.
The NEXT Hybrid achieves a very high efficiency--it is rated at 90% "thermal efficiency." The high efficiency is achieved through a process in which a secondary heat exchanger is used to capture the heated flue gas from the tankless unit and route it back through the buffer tank to extract additional heat.
Normally you can't use hot water circulating systems with tankless water heaters, but with a small tank that problem goes away as well. You can use a hot water circulating system with the hybrid units.
Heat Pump Hybrid Water Heaters are basically an electric water heater with a heat pump mounted on top. There isn't much new about a heat pump water heater with a 40 or 50 gallon tank. They have been around for over 40 years.
Tankless water heaters are a whole lot different than traditional storage or tank type water heaters. They are often considered green because they don't have the standby heat losses associated with tank type water heaters and are therefore more energy efficient.
I just finished filing a provisional patent application online. It was pretty easy and it cost a total of $110. Here are the step by step instructions on how to file a provisional patent application online.
