A report by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) has found that after three years of stagnation the European heat pump markets are recovering. It indicates that 771,245 heat pump units were sold in Europe in 2013, an increase of 3 percent, and early data for 2014 show this trend to continue.
Working with Mechanical Solutions Inc. (MSI), a small business in New Jersey, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Building Technologies Office has found a potential solution to allow for cold climate heat pumps: a “supercharger” that enables heat pumps to efficiently operate in the coldest U.S. climates, with zero backup heat.
The Robur RTAR is a modular, reversible cycle gas absorption heat pump system capable of producing hot water up to 140°F and chilled water down to 41°F.
The course examines the economic analysis of ground-source equipment versus more traditional systems and what is necessary to design an effective and efficient ground-source system.
Two new Halcyon lines of high-efficiency, floor-mounted mini-split heat pump systems feature ambient heating temperatures as low as minus 15°F (RLFFH line) or minus 5° (RLFF line).
The residential Greensource Innovation Series SV model in a split system version allows the condenser unit to be installed separately from the fan coil to reduce noise, vibration, and heat from the conditioned space.
