U . S . BOILER INTRODUCES HEAT PUMP

The Ambient Air-to-Water Hydronic Heat Pump , introduced by U . S . Boiler Co ., is for residential customers looking to upgrade their hydronic systems with an efficient electric option .

The new heat pump has a 5-ton capacity ( rated at 60 MBH ) and provides reliable space heating with outdoor temperatures as low as -13 ° F . Offering a COP of up to 3.95 ( 395 % efficiency ) and delivering supply temperatures of up to 140 ° F , the Ambient Heat Pump offers energy savings over conventional electric heating systems , the equipment manufacturer said in an announcement .

Installation is simple , whether the mono-block heat pump is installed in a new residence or is retrofitted into an existing hydronic system . It ’ s also easy to install as a stand-alone heat source or in dual-fuel applications . The heat pump uses environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant for high efficiency and low global warming potential . Its DC inverter Enhanced Vapor Injection ( EVI ) technology is designed to be quiet , with operating sound levels as low as 39 decibels at two-foot distance ( quieter than most refrigerators ).

The Ambient Heat Pump is available with an optional dualfuel controller for applications in extremely cold climates . The controller , as part of a kit , allows the installer to seamlessly integrate the heat pump with a new or existing fossil fuel or electric boiler . No additional venting or re-sizing of existing hydronic piping is necessary .

The new system is available as a stand-alone unit , or as part of two different packages , depending on whether the heat pump will be the only source of hydronic heat in the home or in tandem with a boiler . Both packages include a 5.7-inch touchscreen controller which is mounted inside the home . Other packaged accessories include a 40-gallon buffer tank with backup heating elements , a Taco 0013 circulator , circulator flange kit , flat plate heat exchanger , pressure relief valve , drain valve , and relays . The dual fuel package also includes the dual fuel controller .

U . S . Boiler Co . has launched an Electrification Program to assist homeowners and contractors in adopting air-to-water heat pumps . Visit www . usboiler . net to learn more about the products and enroll in the program . l FON
