Hydronic Systems Using Low-Ambient Air-To-Water Heat Pumps (Room 205)

02 Nov 16
7:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Tracks: Canadian Hydronics Conference

This session will focus on the emerging technology used in heat pumps that can absorb heat from very low temperature (sub 0°F), and use that heat to produce water temperatures up to 130°F. This new generation of heat pumps approaches the performance of geothermal systems, but at a much lower installed cost. You will learn about their unique operating characteristics and see several ways to incorporate these heat pumps into a system that provides space heating, cooling and domestic hot water. Piping, controls and buffering will also be discussed and several complete system designs will be presented.
