What are Included in Hydronic Heat Load Design?

Are you considering new construction? Or just need to retrofit an existing construction? Whatever the case, you should require a complete integrated heating package ranging from air to water heat pump to the PEX piping and manifolds and everything in between.

What Do You Mean by Heat Load Design?

Every HVAC project requires a proper design that includes understanding the heating or cooling load requirements. The heating load is the number of BTUs required during the coldest day of the year in your area to keep the house at its designed set point temperature.

If the heating system is improperly sized, it could result in a cold house that can’t remain warm during very cold weather. On the other hand, oversizing the heating system gives additional upfront costs and higher monthly operational costs. So, getting the right heat load design is important for every HVAC project you take on.

Radiant Floor Heating Load Design

When it comes to radiant floor heating load design, you should rely on Arctic Heat Pumps. They use state-of-the-art CAD design software applications to optimize the loop layout design so that your contractor or any DIYer will make sure that there are no cold spots available.

Whether you are looking at the hydronic heat in concrete, under floor joists or subfloor, Arctic Heat Pumps can help you out. They can incorporate hydronic fan coils for individual rooms to provide centralized heating and cooling requirements by using ductwork.

It is recommended to do proper sizing of the system which starts with understanding the heat requirements of your building. Their hydronic heating design service will make sure that your project is done successfully.

What is Included in Hydronic Heat Load Design?

Sizing the Hydronic Pump System –

When it comes to designing a hydronic heat load, it is important to focus on the sizing of the hydronic pump. Although a heat pump system is a costly investment, its sizing should be done properly. Sizing the hydronic pump system requires correct calculation which is more often a challenging task for every DIY project that includes building a hydronic heating zone.

But the Arctic Heat Pumps team use simulation software to calculate the right size of the pump properly. If sizing is done right, it will ensure performance and reduce operational costs.

Other Significant Aspects of the Hydronic Heating Project

Arctic Heat Pumps can help you with every aspect of the hydronic heating projects from the mechanical design to the electrical wiring table to connect pumps, valves, and sensors. In addition, they can offer fair prices for all of your plumbing parts included in the project.

Control Logic of the System

While designing the advanced hydronic heating system with multiple zones, controlling the system properly becomes very difficult. Making sure that all parts communicate with each other helps in producing a seamlessly integrated system. But it feels easier to be said than to get it done.

When you rely on the Arctic Heat Pumps team for designing a hydronic heating system, they will build the control logic. Hence it will be easy for you or your contractor to set up the system as soon as possible to ensure maximum performance. They use the Resol MX Controller to add control logic on an SD card or email the layout design to the end user. You just plug the SD card into the MX controller and you can upload the control logic quickly to the controller without doing any programming. These services are provided at free of cost by Arctic Heat Pumps.

Remote Monitoring

Currently, you want to control the system completely anywhere and any point in time. As discussed above, the hydronic system uses the Resol MX controller that offers free accessibility to the vbus.net platform. The platform allows you to check the status and parameters of your hydronic project in real time over your phone, tablet or computer. In addition, you can compare the historic values to make sure that the system is working in its optimal condition.

Bottom Line –

Are you looking for a complete hydronic heat load design service? And don’t you want to pay additional engineering costs? If yes, then you should contact Arctic Heat Pumps at 1-866-800-8123 and we will help you get covered.

Heat Pumps in Nova Scotia – The Energy Efficient Heating Solution

Heat pumps are one of the significant examples that determine how far technology has come! Providing energy efficient heating using electricity is truly a tremendous technological advancement! What makes heat pumps in Nova Scotia a better choice to tackle with the cold weather is that these harvests are prevailing heat from the outdoor air and bring it inside without making use of fuels!  Limits of the Heat Pumps – Heat pumps extract heat from the air outside, hence their efficiency is directly proportional to the temperature outdoor which means when there is less heat in the air the heat pumps need to work a bit harder to extract the available heat. Top quality and highly efficient heat pumps can extract heat down to temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius and beyond that in some instances. Heat Pump Efficiency – Basically, two efficiency ratings are set by the heat pump industry. The first one is the Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) and the second one is t

Understanding Benefits of Radiant Floor Cooling Used by Hydronic Heat Pump

More often, people overlook that a Hydronic Heat Pump is capable of cooling as well as heating. However, most homeowners are very much aware of the benefits of radiant floor heating over centralized forced air heating.  But most homeowners and also builders don’t know that radiant floor cooling is possible and can be affordable especially for those building a home with a Hydronic air to water heat pump. Please keep in mind that, radiant cooling process is quiet, efficient and completely dust free. This is the main reason why this method has been used in Europe over decades.  More importantly, there’s a research done by Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory in California, the USA. The studies estimate that the energy savings by radiant floor cooling is over 30% than the traditional forced air cooling.  The Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating  Most people have a misconception that they can’t cool a slab. It’s due to the fact that a slab will condensate which will leave

Why Do You Buy an EVI DC Inverter Heat Pump?

Image
Are you looking for highly-efficient heat pumps? If yes, then you should look no further than an EVI DC Inverter Heat Pump . EVI stands for “Enhanced Vapor Injection” – a technology used on cold climate heat pumps to provide superior performance at lower temperatures.    Generally, heat pumps use a single or a dual-speed compressor which means it is either off or on. Arctic EVI DC Inverter Heat Pump uses the industry-standard compressor, a variable-speed DC Panasonic EVI compressor. The DC motor operates at the exact speed which it requires to achieve optimal efficiency.  This way, the heat pump achieves over 30% more efficiency on an average than a standard heat pump system. It is very important as the compressor consumes bulk amount of energy requirements for a heat pump.  The decrease in compressor energy results in significant increase in the COP – Co-efficiency of Performance. The heat pump system has brushless DC fan motor and PFC control; so it doesn’t require a
