WSHP System Control and Optimization Part 1: Basic Control Overview
/
Control of multi-unit WSHPs is typically quite simple compared to other HVAC systems. In some cases, individual control of units will suffice, such as….

WSHP System Design Part 4: Water Side Components and Considerations
/
What components make up the water side of a WSHP design besides the heat pumps themselves? And what “best practices” should engineers observe to optimize the efficiency and longevity of water side equipment?

/
Outdoor air typically requires conditioning before it is brought into a space. By “condition,” we primarily mean dehumidification, a common requirement here in the Southeast. Ideally the conditioned air should be drier than….

/
Now that you know how to determine the amount of outside air needed for a given space, it’s time to think about how to bring the air into a space that is conditioned by a WSHP. There are two main ways to bring outside air into the space. Outside air can be introduced….
