GeoSource® 2000™ - Hydronic Heat Pumps

 

Hydronic Heat PumpECONAR® GeoSystems® is the only North American manufacturer of ColdClimate™ GeoSource heat pumps. Cold climates demand comfortable, efficient heating while not compromising cooling or humidity control. Hydronic heating systems have become much more popular in recent years by providing extremely comfortable, concentrated warmth where you want it, without the air movement of a conventional system.

How does it work?

ECONAR's hydronic heat pump transfers energy directly from and to the earth coupled heat source to hydronic heating and cooling heat exchangers. The water-to-water heat pumps have the ability to supply heated or chilled water for use in a wide range of heating and cooling applications. A water/antifreeze solution circulates through the hydronic heat pump, which supplies energy to any number of external heat exchangers.

Hydronic Side Applications

Radiant floor heating. The most popular form of hydronic heat exchanger is radiant floor heat tubing. This type of heat supply maintains the heat comfortably near the floor eliminating drafts. Very high efficiencies are achieved by consistently supplying a large floor mass with low temperature heat. Applications of the type range from providing a comfortable cozy family room to heating your garage all the way to your large commercial warehouse.



Fan Coils. Fan coils can be coupled to the heat pumps and used in the heating or cooling mode as the space conditioning heat exchanger. Sizing is based on air temperature and flow rate. These systems can be extremely versatile means of zone control and humidity reduction for multiple zoned loads such as hotels.



Other Applications. Many other hydronic applications such as swimming pools, hot tubs, tank heating, base board/finned tube, and radiators are easily sized based on temperature, flow rate heat dissipation add to the numerous possible used of an ECONAR hydronic heat pump.
