Heat pumps, both air-to-water and water-to-water geoexchange, are quickly gaining acceptance and increasing market share as heat sources in hydronic-based systems. However, matching these heat pumps to appropriate heat emitters and distribution systems is crucial in achieving high performance. A favorite to the Coffee with Caleffi series, John Siegenthaler, PE, will survey a wide variety of heat emitters that can be used in both new and retrofit applications, describing potential pitfalls and how to avoid them in this 90-minute extended webinar edition called “Paired for Performance: Heat Emitters and Heat Pumps” on March 28 at noon CDT.
Participants will learn:
- Can hydronic heat pumps produce water temperatures over 130ºF?
- Can all types of radiant panels be used with hydronic heat pumps?
- Can panel radiators operate at water temperatures lower than 100ºF?
- How does thermal mass affect systems supplied by hydronic heat pumps?
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 with the audience. He is the Principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.
All Coffee with Caleffi webinars are complimentary, but registration is required for real-time attendance. A Certificate of Attendance is emailed to all attendees following the webinar.
