Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are growing in popularity and are a crucial technology in the move toward electrification.
Advanced Training: If you need to get in depth training on how to market, sell, design or install heat pumps.
Popular in Europe and Asia, Air-To-Water Heat Pumps Poised for Growth in the U.S.
In Europe and Asia, there were over 2 million air-to-water heat pump systems installed in 2016. In the U.S., there were about 1,000 installed, says John Siegenthaler, instructor of HeatSpring’s “Applications of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps for Hydronic Heating and Cooling,” and other courses.
“That market is going to grow,” he says. “Air-to-water heat pump systems are […]
John Siegenthaler Investigates: Low Ambient Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
Low Ambient Air-to-Water Heat Pumps: An emerging renewable heat source for North American hydronic systems.
Electrically powered heat pumps, in many varieties, are destined to play an increasingly important role in heating and cooling buildings around the world.
Heat pumps capture low grade heat from solar-resupplied sources such as outside air and soil several feet below the earth’s […]
3 Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) System Design Questions
Expert Instructor Ryan Carda discusses vertical boring systems, horizontal ground loops and Energy Recovery Ventilator ducting on the IGSHPA Certified GeoExchange Designer (CGD Plus) Training discussion board…
Student 1: Would you say that the addition costs associated with vertical boring are greater than the cost of extra piping necessary for a horizontal system?
Ryan Carda: To a point – HDPE pipe itself is […]
