Air-to-water heat pump technology is steadily gaining traction. When a heat pump’s coefficient of performance is maximized, energy efficiency and resiliency benefits are substantial. How can engineers, designers, and installers effectively apply this emerging technology to high thermal mass floor heating applications? Which commercial systems are good candidates for this type of design? On November 17, hydronics expert John Siegenthaler, PE, will detail the approaches that can best utilize this technology during the one-hour webinar “Air-to-Slab Heat Pump Systems.”
This webinar will answer the following questions:
- Do all air-to-water heat pump systems need buffer tanks?
- How does the thermal mass of a floor slab compare to that of a buffer tank?
- What is a simple way to control a heat pump supplying a heated floor slab?
- What are the benefits of using constant circulation in “garage-type” floor heating systems?
Siegenthaler is a seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, eager to share his 40+ years of experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles. He is the Principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.
Coffee with Caleffi technical training webinars are free and intended for contractors, engineers, designers, and wholesalers. A certificate of attendance is emailed to attendees following the webinar equivalent to 1.0 PDH for continuing education.
