Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
The commercial HPWH is one of many
energy-efficient technologies which have been carried through the R&D stage and brought to market. A heat pump
water heater is an effective and efficient way to provide hot water for
commercial buildings. The system uses a water heating heat pump to move heat
from a cool reservoir such as air and transfer this heat into water. The system
employs an evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion valve, hot water
circulating pump and controls to accomplish this function.
In this course the student will learn about
commercial heat pump water heater sizing and applications. In addition, the
student will learn about design and installations considerations and both field
and laboratory perspectives of commercial heat pump water heaters.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained
in the Federal Technology Alert - commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters, US DOE
FEMP – December 1997.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of eighteen (18) questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
