Thermal Testing of Existing Hydronic Circuits (June, 19 • 12-1pm CDT)

Many hydronic heating circuits already in use were designed for use with boilers and higher operating temperatures than a heat pump can produce. When considering the use of hydronic heat pumps for these circuits, it’s important to know what rate of heat delivery these circuits can provide when operated at lower water temperatures. This webinar explains how the thermal performance of existing distribution circuits can be evaluated using relatively simple and affordable equipment. It explains the testing procedure and how to use the test results to estimate the circuit’s heat output rate over a range of water temperatures..

  • Why thermal testing is advisable when considering retrofitting heat pumps to existing systems.
  • The difference between testing the circuit’s performance and theoretically estimating its performance.
  • The importance of gathering data at quasi-steady state conditions.
  • How to use the test results to estimate a circuit’s rate of heat output over a range of supply water temperatures.
