Idronics

The previous section discussed the fundamentals of heat pump technology. This section discusses how HPWHs can be an integral part of a broader energy transition.

This section discusses how the refrigeration cycle is used by HPWHs and the potential efficiency advantages of proper implementation.

There are advantages and limitations to every type of water heating device. The underlying energy-efficiency potential of heat pump technology creates a high potential to save ener...
