Subject - Hydronic Heat Pumps & Thermal Storage
When - Thursday, September 26 from 12:00 - 1:30pm CDT
Technical Content Level - Intermediate
As local and regional electrification targets develop, utilities are incorporating time-of-use rates to encourage energy use during off-peak hours, offering significant saving potential to customers. In response, the North American hydronics industry is expanding its range of air-to-water heat pumps, creating opportunities to optimize hydronic-based systems by incorporating thermal storage. Join our upcoming Coffee with Caleffi webinar to explore these trends and learn how to design hydronic systems that capitalize on time-of-use rates while maintaining comfort. We’ll also share the latest research on merging heat pumps with thermal storage, showcasing how hydronics play a crucial role in this evolving landscape. John Siegenthaler, P.E., will cover all these topics and more in this 90-minute webinar.
→ Are large tanks filled with water the only way to provide thermal storage in hydronic systems?
→ How can variable speed circulators be used in combination with thermal storage?
→ Is it necessary to capture and store all the heat needed by a building for a 24-hour period during the off-peak period?
→ What are the control concepts and priorities involved in these systems?
Siegenthaler is a seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, eager to share his over 40 years of experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles with our audience. He is the principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.
