ASHP WSHP Heat Recovery Inverter Chiller Decarbonization-Electrification

Heat Pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to boilers, heaters, furnaces and air conditioners for all climates. Like a chiller, heat pumps use electricity to make a cool space cool in summer, but it can also keep a warm space warm in winter. During the heating season, heat pumps transfer heat from the cool outdoors into your warm building or process. During the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your air conditioning coils or process water loops into the outdoors. Because they transfer heat rather than generate heat, they can more efficiently control the indoor environment.
There are four main types of heat pumps connected by pipes: air-to-air, air-to-water, water-to-air, water-to-water. They collect heat from the outside air, building water, or ground water and concentrate it for use in your air distribution ductwork or building water loop.
Air-Source Heat Pumps
The 2-pipe reversible ASHP, transfers heat between your water loop and the outside air in one direction or the other.
The 4-pipe simultaneous ASHP, heats and cools simultaneously between the hot water circuit, the cool water circuit and the ambient air.
Ecogreen heat pumps can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% or more depending on the outdoor conditions compared to electric resistance or gas fired heat. It also eliminates the need for boilers that burn fuels and produce carbon emissions. Ecogreen’s operating conditions offer a legitimate heating alternative in colder regions.
With reliability in mind, Ecogreen high efficiency heat pumps are designed to be completely serviceable, easy to install and maintain, with redundancy of components & power, smart electronic control, monitoring & BACnet communication.
