Air-to-water and water-to-water heat pumps are often equipped with refrigerant reversing valves, allowing them to function as chillers. Small-scale chilled water cooling systems can be configured for various heating/cooling loads, client expectations, and budgets. When properly designed and installed, these systems provide several advantages over competing cooling methods. However, critical details must be accounted for Read more
Air-to-water and water-to-water heat pumps are often equipped with refrigerant reversing valves, allowing them to function as chillers. Small-scale chilled water cooling systems can be configured for various heating/cooling loads, client expectations, and budgets. When properly designed and installed, these systems provide several advantages over competing cooling methods. However, critical details must be accounted for in order to avoid problems and maintain system performance. John Siegenthaler, P.E., will cover all these topics and more in this 90-minute webinar.
Topics of discussion:
- Is it necessary to insulate PEX piping when distributing chilled fluids?
- Is there more than one way to zone chilled water cooling?
- Can a heat pump provide both cooling and domestic hot water during the summer?
- What approach can be used to provide multi-zone heating along with single-zone cooling?
Siegenthaler is a seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, eager to share his over 40 years of experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles with our audience. He is the principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.
