Atmos-Frost: Key Attributes
Key Features
WHY ATMOS FROST IS A SMART CHOICE
Solahart Atmos-Frost is an energy efficient Heat Pump Water Heater designed to be installed in areas where traditional solar hot water systems may not be suitable. The Solahart Atmos-Frost Heat Pump can be installed in almost any location in Australia, as it is suitable for harsh water, cold climates, and tropical conditions.
- COP OF 4.4: Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 4.4** making it a highly efficient water heater to help reduce energy consumption
- Enamel-Lined Water Tank The high-quality durable enamel coating reduces the risk of corrosion and water leakage.
- Side Fan Design: A design that provides maximum airflow and protects from the rain.
- Micro-channel Technology: Provides a larger contact area to maximise heat transfer efficiency. The wrap-around design of the micro-channels enables installation in harsh water areas.
- Smart LED Controller Display: A bright interactive LED touchscreen display putting control at your fingertips
- Heavy Duty Top Cover: The ASA^ top cover withstands harsh weather conditions.
* Solahart Warranty Details: 7/3/2 warranty; 7-year cylinder supply, 3-year labour on cylinder, 2-year parts including labour. Applies to a single-family domestic dwelling only. Without limiting these periods, a 5-year whole-of-product warranty applies where a rebate has been received under Solar Victoria’s Solar Homes Program for the installation of this water heater. See the Solahart warranty set out in the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions. For more details call Solahart Australia 1300 769 475.
All other applications have a 3/1/1 warranty; 3-year cylinder supply, 1-year cylinder labour, 1-year parts, including labour.
** Testing condition: 19°C/15°C (Dry bulb/Wet bulb) ambient air temperature, relative humidity of 62% and heating water from 8°C to 60°C.
^ Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) is an amorphous thermoplastic with improved weather resistance.

* COP – The Coefficient of Performance for a heat pump is the ratio of how much useful heat it produces for water heating to the power input into the water heater. The higher the COP number, the more efficient the heat pump is. The actual COP of the product at any given time will be impacted by a number of factors, including the ambient air and cold-water inlet temperatures at the place of installation and time of day / season of operation.
An Average Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 4.4 was measured under test conditions with an ambient air temperature of 19˚C/15˚C (Dry Bulb/Wet Bulb), heating of the water from 8˚C to 60˚C during water heater operation and a power supply of 240 V~ 50 Hz. The Heat Pump average heating capacity in Watts (and converted to kilowatts – kW) and its water heating capacity in Litres / hour were calculated from the results of this test.
Average Heat Pump Heating Capacity kW – This is how much heating power is put into the water during the heating cycle by the heat pump. It is expressed as an average due to the changes in heating power from the refrigeration cycle as the water is being heated and its temperature increases during the heating cycle.
