Templifier™ Heat Pump Water Heaters
Model TSC, 3,000 to 24,000 MBH (880 to 7,000 kW) Heating Capacity
The Model TSC Templifier was
developed in the 1970s, after
the 1973 oil embargo, as a
device to replace fossil-fired
water heaters with electric
heaters. The concept was
simple; direct a stream of warm
waste heat to the evaporator of
a refrigeration unit, amplify the
temperature of the heat through
the compression cycle, and then
deliver the heat from the
condenser, at a higher useful
temperature, to a heating load.
The flow diagram shown to the
left illustrates just how the
Templifier unit is placed in a
chilled water system. The
decision to include a Templifier
water heater is almost always a
financial one. Evaluation of load profiles, energy costs, and owning costs is made simple by using
the McQuay Energy Analyzer™ evaluation program to determine if the return on investment
meets the owner’s requirements.
When there is sufficient waste heat available, Templifier units can be very attractive where fossil
fuels are not available, or where their use is restricted due to pollution problems or other reasons.
Compared to electric resistance heating, the energy cost for a Templifier unit to heat domestic
water, for example, could be 7 to 8 times less!

The Templifier Water heater has also found innumerable applications in industries such as food
processing, recovering waste heat and supplying hot process water, as high as 140°F, at high COPs
and low cost. See the McQuay PM Templifier catalog for additional information.
