[Bldg-sim] small heatpump product for service hot water &cooling

[via Bldg-sim]

Pictures would be very much appreciated =)!

 

I’m guessing something like this is in mind  for your next iteration:

In its current place… are you simply submerging the business ends of the heatpump into piped beer coolers?  Is there an aquarium involved??  If you’ve integrated a tropical fish tank I’m going to fall outta my chair…

I have been working on this problem for the past 4 years and have one built one commercial-scale working prototype so far, that is cooling a 20' cold storage box and a heating 3,000 sf heated soil greenhouse on a truck-farm in Port Townsend with a single 24,000 BTU heat pump that I made from the guts of a window mount air conditioner unit running on R-410a. I have 1000 gallons of storage in the circulation water system and millions of BTUs stored in 4000 cubic feet of heated soil above the insulation.

Welded plate heat stainless steel exchangers suitable for the high working pressures of R-410a systems are finally becoming available, which should dramatically simplify the construction of my next system.

VRF products can perform the same function for less than ½ the energy use, and for significantly less capital cost.

Dear building-sim,

We are considering providing service hot water and cooling requirements for apartments in a residential tower via small water source heat pumps in each apartment. Heat rejection would be provided by infrastructure comprising of a cooling tower and possibly some thermal storage.

One appeal of this would be billing. There wouldn't need to be seperate billing for cooling, shw and electric. But usage would still be linked to cost. It would also make things look a lot cleaner (no "window shakers"!).

Does anybody on this list know of any examples of water source heat pump products that might suit this purpose? Water to water (serving fan coil terminals in the apartment) or water to air might be considered.

Best regards

Chris Yates
