Researchers have utilized measured data from a small energy community on a Finnish university campus to simulate its operation under various control strategies. The first control strategy prioritizes ...

Heat pumps are taking the world by storm, and for good reason. Not only are they many times more efficient than electric heaters, but they can also be used to provide cooling in the summer. Efficiency ...

A split system heat pump's defrost sensor is used to detect ice buildup on the heat pump's outdoor coil. When ice builds up on the coil, it reduces the heat pump's ability to transfer heat, which can ...

Researchers in Spain have proposed two control strategies for the integration of heat pumps in district heating systems assisted by solar thermal collectors. Their technical-economic analysis shows ...

The Evolution® Extreme variable-speed heat pump (280ANV) has efficiencies of up to 13 HSPF and up to 20.5 SEER. When combined with an Evolution control and Evolution gas furnace or fan coil, the heat ...
