A. O. Smith’s commercial heat pump water heater for light commercial applications is ideal for use in establishments such as restaurants, schools, retail buildings or any facility that would traditionally use a standard commercial electric water heater.

Bosch Thermotechnology introduces its upgraded model in the Greensource CDi series, the Bosch SM Rev C geothermal heat pump.

The geothermal heat pump market is headed for another strong year in 2019. The 30% uncapped federal income tax credit on EnergyStar-rated geothermal heat pumps remains in full effect.

Over the last few months, I’ve had several inquiries from people eager to get into the hydronics industry.

Many renewable energy systems have thermal storage tanks that bridge the gap between when energy is available from the heating source, and when that energy is needed by a heating load.

The educational event runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 22 at Landmark College in Putney, Vermont.

Last month, we began with a concept for an “ideal” thermal storage tank. This tank was then shown in both a classic four-pipe configuration, as well as a newer configuration called two-pipe.  This month, we’ll look at a morphing of these two piping methods to create a three-pipe configuration. We’ll also look at options for connecting multiple thermal storage tanks together.

Thermal storage is an integral part of most hydronic systems that have renewable energy heat sources. Systems with solar thermal collectors or biomass boilers are prime examples.
