WSHP System Control and Optimization Part 4: Why Waterside Economizing Might Not Improve Efficiency
/
Engineers seeking to meet the waterside economizing requirement of ASHRAE 90.1 - 2013 do not necessarily have to specify multi-zone commercial water source heap pumps with integral economizers. In fact, doing so may undermine efficiency.

/
Most commercial WSHP system will require a cooling tower, which can either be an open or a closed-circuit design. If the system is in a part of the country that periodically sees sub-freezing temperatures during the heating season, it must be….
