Overview
The commercial HPWH is one of many energy-efficient technologies which have been carried through the R&D stage and brought to market. A heat pump water heater is an effective and efficient way to provide hot water for commercial buildings. The system uses a water heating heat pump to move heat from a cool reservoir such as air and transfer this heat into water. The system employs an evaporator, compressor, condenser, expansion valve, hot water circulating pump and controls to accomplish this function.
In this course the student will learn about commercial heat pump water heater sizing and applications. In addition, the student will learn about design and installations considerations and both field and laboratory perspectives of commercial heat pump water heaters.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Federal Technology Alert - commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters, US DOE FEMP – December 1997.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of eighteen (18) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
