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

10 Essential Details for Hydronic Heat Pump Systems (Jan 15 • 12:00pm – 1:00pm CDT)

Heat pumps are not boilers… They have specific requirements for flow, water temperatures, and other design considerations. When designing a hydronic “balance-of-system” that will be paired with an air-to-water or water-to-water heat pump it’s essential to respect those details to optimize the heat pump’s performance. This webinar will show 10 specific details, explain why accounting for them is necessary, and point to what could happen if they are ignored.

Learning objectives:

– How heat emitter selection affects heat pump performance.

– Why location matters when placing the outdoor unit of an air-to-water heat pump.

– Critical issues associated with chilled water cooling.

– How to accommodate “micro-loads” without starving the heat pump for flow.
