Driven by advancements in refrigerants, controls and system design, modern heat pumps are taking on applications once thought beyond their reach — from food service and healthcare to district energy and industrial processes. This evolution is creating new opportunities for engineers, facility owners and contractors to rethink how buildings are heated, cooled and powered.

McCracken brings over two decades of experience in the industry to this position. 

The 208V model is designed for multifamily buildings, retrofits and other commercial projects.

These models offer greater flexibility, efficiency and more compact design. 

The conference will feature panels, courses and technical sessions on a variety of topics. 

Last month, we discussed direct-to-load hydronic heat pump systems. These systems use a variable-speed compressor and circulator to adjust heat output and flow, eliminating the need for a buffer tank or hydraulic separator.

GSHP systems have one primary significant difference: the outdoor refrigerant coil and fan are absent. Instead of these components, the functions of the outdoor condenser have been integrated into the indoor unit, resulting in a hybrid condenser and evaporator unit.

GeoExchange collaborates with MIssion Geo to showcase benefits of geothermal heat pumps.

Fujitsu General America debuts Airstage Altair wall-mounted models featuring R-32 refrigerant.

The availability of heat pumps allows designers and installers of hydronic heating to include cooling. A simple method involves using a single air handler with a chilled water coil for a ducted distribution system, providing single zone cooling that can complement multi-zone hydronic heating in average houses.
