Last month, we discussed how solid thermal energy storage, combined with an air-to-water heat pump and an electric boiler, provides a platform to leverage time-of-use electrical rates in ways that can benefit customers as well as the utility providing the electricity.
Keystone Air Power is a thriving Amish enterprise that runs a fully modern hardware store in Central Pennsylvania. The 52,000-square-foot building is constructed around a cutting-edge, off-grid mechanical and electrical system that demonstrates the Amish's knowledge of smart technology.
A problem is developing with the transition to electric heating: peak demand. Learn how air-to-water heat pumps tackle seasonal needs but struggle during extreme cold, leading to reliance on electric resistance heating.
The 20 products highlighted here have earned the distinction of being PM Engineer’s Top Products of 2023 based on the number of pageviews on www.pmengineer.com. Congratulations to those products on this year’s list.
AJ Rose Manufacturing is a 100-year-old company in Cleveland that suffered a fire in March 2023, causing damage to a cooling tower. Pro Service Plumbing was brought in to install a new cooling tower and used 1-1/2" Viega ProPress Manual Balancing Valves for the cooling supply.
>By combining water heating with space heating through heat pumps, a synergy is achieved that maximizes efficiency. This dual functionality is particularly relevant given the constant demand for hot water in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
Like most people, I have opinions and beliefs about our current energy sources, and specifically how they play into the future of hydronic heating and cooling technology.
