Upcoming Events

While the market for ductless mini-splits has grown recently, they aren’t necessarily the best option for many projects. August’s Modern Hydronics & Heat Pumps webinar will compare the costs and capabilities between ductless mini-splits and an Enertech air-to-water system in the same 5-zone residential project. The results may surprise you!

Learning Points:

1. Features air-to-water heat pumps provide that ductless mini-split systems can’t.

2. How to configure an air-to-water heat pump with a heat recovery ventilator.

3. Cost comparisons between systems that provide space heating, cooling, domestic water heating, and ventilation.

July’s webinar is a continuation of the existing hydronic circuit series. You’ll learn how to use simple equipment and a straightforward procedure to assess hydronic circuits and choose a circulator that’s appropriate for your retrofit projects.

Learning Points:

1. Learn about the equipment needed to measure the flow rate and associated pressure drop in a hydronic circuit.

2. Understand how to construct a circuit head loss curve from test data.

3. Learn how to combine the circuit head loss curve with the pump curve of a circulator to determine the flow rate that circulator would produce in that circuit.

4. Understand the effect that different fluids such as water and antifreeze have on circuit flow rate.
