Choose the Right Hydronic Heat Pump System
Insights from the Hydronic Heat Pump System Workshop
Know your loops and embrace smart control technologies to unlock a new level of operational excellence.
Here’s a look at each from our recent workshop.
- Constant primary system: Simplicity meets investment. A constant primary hydronic system offers straightforward operation and ease of control. It also tends to be the most expensive option to operate. You’ll need to weigh the benefits of simplicity against the investment.
- Constant primary / variable secondary system: Efficiency, flexibility and a BAS. This system is a common choice for medium to large buildings. However, effectively managing multiple pumps per circuit necessitates a building automation system (BAS). Even so, this system’s efficiency, flexibility and reliability make it a compelling option.
- Variable primary system: Flexibility takes center stage. The variable primary system’s flexibility makes it ideal for small to medium buildings. With variable flow throughout, it boasts the most efficient operation among the three systems. Its complexity in control systems demands careful consideration during implementation.
- For all systems: smart control integration. Couple modular heat pump chillers with state-of-the-art smart controls to unlock a new realm of optimization possibilities. These controls optimize unit sequencing, enhancing system efficiency and performance.
Optimizing hydronic heat pump systems is vital for maximizing efficiency and sustainability. Know your loops and embrace smart control technologies to unlock a new level of operational excellence.
