As an example of how Water-Source
Heat Pumps can handle a variety of different applications, the building
shown to the right is a fictional bronze statue foundry company in the
midwest portion of the United States. The first floor comprises their
production floor and office space. The second floor of the building is
reserved for future use. The cooling tower and boiler work as needed to
maintain an average loop temperature between 60 to 95°F. Water-Source
Heat Pumps can efficiently operate in either heating or cooling mode
under these conditions. This gives individual and specialized zone
control for maximum comfort and the ability to change operation modes
as needed. A mixture of units in heating mode and units in cooling mode
create a constant temperature in the water loop. In Balanced Mode,
there is no need for heat injection or rejection via the boiler or
cooling tower. The heat is simply moved from one zone to another.
