Alternative Energy Control Solutions for Heat Pump & Solar Thermal Systems HVAC Systems Multi-Staging Alternative Energy Zoning Snow Melting Setpoint A Watts Water Technologies Company
Alternative Energy with Maximum Efficiency Energy can be harvested from the sun, earth, air or water making it an attractive solution for heating or cooling systems. To ensure comfort, alternative energy systems are commonly Fuel & electricity prices are on the rise. There’s never been a better time to explore alternative sources of energy for heating homes & generating hot water designed with a backup heat source.
Leading the Way in Heat Pump Control Why choose tekmar for heat pump system control? It’s simple. The tN2 House Control 406 improves comfort, efficiency & reliability in systems with a heat pump as a primary heat source. Energy saving features include: Outdoor Temperature Reset In order to provide comfortable indoor temperatures, the supply of heat to a building must be equal to the buildings heat loss. The greatest factor affecting how much heat a building requires is the outdoor temperature.
Heat Pump Applications Radiant Floor & Auxiliary Backup The control operates a two-stage water-to-water heat pump to provide heating to four radiant floor zones with auxiliary backup electric element in the storage tank.
Fan Coil & Radiant Floor Heating & Cooling with Boiler Backup & DHW The control operates two water-to-water heat pumps to provide heating or cooling to the fan coils & radiant floor zones. A boiler provides heat to the domestic hot water tank & baseboard zones, as well as backup to the fan coil & radiant floor zones.
Solar Thermal Applications Solar Storage Tank with Drainback Collector Sensor Outside The control measures the temperature difference between the solar Inside panel & storage tank. As the temperature difference increases, the Difference Setpoint Control 157 pump speed is increased. As the temperature difference decreases, the pump speed is reduced to provide additional time for heat transfer. This allows for continued heat transfer & lower electrical Drainback Tank consumption during off peak times.
