vented), and the heat exchanger (which extracts heat from the primary heat transfer fluid) is usually un-vented.

             Note 2:  This is the same meaning as in subclause 1.4.8 of AS/NZS 4692.1:2005.
heat pump water heater means a water heater with a mechanical device, which uses cyclic adiabatic compression of a vapour, followed by expansion, to force phase changes, which result in heating of the water through a heat exchange process (also known as vapour compression type water heater).

             Note:   This is the same meaning as in subclause 1.4.1 of AS/NZS 4692.1:2005.
solar water heater means a system normally consisting of a collector and a container, which may be integral, close coupled or remote, where water (or a water-based heat-exchange fluid) is heated by means of radiant energy from the sun.  Water or fluid heated in the solar collector may be circulated using the thermosyphon principle or pumped.  It is common for solar water heaters to be fitted with or connected to a supplementary heating energy source.

             Note:   This is the same meaning as in subclause 1.4.23 of AS/NZS 4692.1:2005.
      storage water heater means:
(a)  an appliance that incorporates a thermally insulated container in which the water is heated and stored for subsequent use; or

              Note:   This is the same meaning as in subclause 1.4.24 of AS/NZS 4692.1:2005
(b)  a heat exchange water heater with a heat exchanger when the volume of heated water, which is subsequently delivered as hot water, is greater than the volume of the heat transfer fluid.
             Note: This is the same meaning as in subclause 1.4.8 of AS/NZS 4692.1:2005.
