Field-testing in preparation for this
year's release of HeatBacks has been delayed while we await the arrival of
production body casings for the unit.
Inhouse engineer and HeatBack inventor, Joseph van Liempt, said the product
samples currently available were not appropriate for field testing as these units' casings did not meet design strength requirements.
"The field tests are very important for final product development and
establishing HeatBack's energy and money-saving credibility", said Joseph.
"Because of this, units used for testing must match our production model
specifications as closely as possible, and the sample units don't do
this."
This discovery may delay field-testing and hence product release by up to 12
weeks. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to the many
people who've expressed interest in the product.
Joseph explained that the current stock of sample HeatBacks were mainly used
for display purposes. They assisted many people, such as those visiting The
Smart Energy Expo in Wellington last year, to visualise how HeatBack works. The casings for these units were created using a 3-D printer, so it's hardly
surprising they do not meet strength requirements.
