The GeoSource Ultra utilizes R-410a refrigerant, a chlorine free HFC
refrigerant that does not harm the earth's protective ozone layer. Hydronic
heating systems have become much more popular in recent years by providing
extremely comfortable, concentrated warmth where you want it, without
the air movement or noise of a conventional system. When radiant heating
comfort is coupled to ECONAR's hydronic heat pump's efficiency, where
C.O.P.'s over 5.0 or 6.0 can be achieved you have the ideal heating system.
ECONAR's hydronic heat pump transfers energy from and to the earth-coupled
heat source to hydronic heating and cooling heat exchangers with energy
efficiencies unachievable by any other means. Our water-to-water heat
pumps supply heated or chilled water for use in a wide range of heating
and cooling applications. A water/antifreeze solution circulates through
the hydronic heat pump, supplying energy to any number or types of external
heat exchangers.
Hydronic Side Applications
Radiant floor heating. The most popular form of hydronic heat
is radiant floor heating. This heating method maintains the heat comfortably
near the floor eliminating drafts. Very high efficiencies are achieved
by consistently supplying a large floor mass with low temperature heat.
Applications range from heating a comfortable cozy family room, heating
the whole house, heating your garage or shop, heating a church all the
way to heating your large office or commercial warehouse.
Fan Coils. Fan coils coupled to the GeoSource heat pump provide conditioned air to one or more comfort zones. Sizing
is based on air temperature and flow rate. These systems can be extremely
economic and versatile means of zoned temperature and humidity control
for applications such as large homes, office spaces, schools community
buildings, libraries, churches and hotels.
Other Applications. Many other hydronic applications such as
swimming pools, hot tubs, tank heating, base board/finned tube, and
radiators are easily sized based on temperature, flow rate, heat dissipation,
and add to the numerous possible uses of ECONAR hydronic heat pumps.
