Modern Hydronics & Heat Pumps
An Enertech Webinar Series
Every month, join us for in-depth training and discussion on application and design for modern hydronics technology coupled with geothermal heat pumps.
Hosted by John Seigenthaler
Radiant Walls & Ceilings (Feb 26 • 12:00pm – 1:00pm CDT)
Many designers and installers assume a buffer tank is required between a heat pump and distribution. That isn’t always true! Modern heat pumps with variable capacity control, like the Enertech AV and WV systems, can be configured with direct-to-load piping, eliminating the need for buffer tanks, pumps, and controls. Join us in March with Justin Jobe to learn the ins and outs of direct-to-load piping installations and how they can be simplified and standardized.
Learning points:
– The purpose of buffer tanks in older heat pump systems.
– How Enertech AV and WV heat pump operate under low load conditions without buffer tanks.
– How direct-to-load piping simplifies systems and lowers construction costs
