Heat Pumps & Chillers AIR TO WATER Heat Pumps & Chillers R407C Ozone Friendly Refrigerant The Affordable Air to Water Heating & Cooling Reduce carbon footprint, save energy GREEN Self contained units, plug & play Solution Unmatched Zoning Capabilities AN Models Available in 4 different sizes (3, 5, 10, & 20 ton) • Cooling only or heat pump models available • Produces water/glycol cooled from 4°C (39°F) down to -6°C (21°F) • High efficiency scroll compressors with low power consumption. • Antifreeze electric heater for the storage tank. (Standard on AN 3007A) • Water side differential pressure switch standard on all models. • High efficiency stainless steel heat exchangers. • Axial flow fan units for extremely quiet operation. • Metallic protective cabinet with rustproof polyester paint. • Equipped with water pump and storage tank. Many applications such as Radiant in-floor heating, low temperature baseboard heating, towel warmers, domestic hot water systems, and even solar technologies are all supported by the Aermec Air-to-Water Heat Pumps & Chillers. There are no special tools to connect, no complicated wiring, and no refrigeration piping required. This advanced unit simply uses water or glycol to heat and cool all year round. The Aermec Advantage No Refrigerant Handling: No need to charge our air cooled Zoned Cooling: With Aermec air-cooled chillers and hydronic chiller system with refrigerant. Aermec closed ductless fan coils, you condition only the spaces you refrigerant system does away with the need for certified designate; not the whole building as opposed to a traditional installation technicians to handle refrigerants. Because there are ducted central AC system. This fact allows for diversity and no refrigerant lines outside the outdoor water chiller cabinet, load shifting when doing load and sizing calculations.

Ultrafineparticle (UFP) exposures a re of particular concern owing to their enhanced ability to cause oxidative stress and inflammation in the lungs. In this investigation, our objective was to examine the contribution of home heating systems (electric baseboard heaters, wood stoves, forced-air oil/natural gas furnace) to indoor UFP exposures. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in 36 homes in the cities of Montre´ al, Que´ bec, and Pembroke, Ontario. Real-time measures of indoor UFP concentrations were collected in each home for approximately 14 h, and an outdoor UFP measurement was collected outside each home before indoor sampling. A home-characteristic questionnaire was also administered, and air exchange rates were estimated using carbon dioxide as a tracer gas. Average UFP exposures of 21,594 cmÀ3 (95% confidence interval (CI): 14,014, 29,174) and 6660 cmÀ3 (95% CI: 4339, 8982) were observed for the evening (1600–2400) and overnight (2400–0800) hours, respectively. In an unadjusted comparison, overnight baseline UFP exposures were significantly greater in homes with electric baseboard heaters as compared to homes using forced-air oil or natural gas furnaces, and homes using wood stoves had significantly greater overnight baseline UFP exposures than homes using forced-air natural gas furnaces.

Between 2007 and 2012, the average U.S. household spent more than $700 $1,700 on heating using on heating homes natural gas using heating oil. Before upgrading your heating system, improve the efficiency of your house. This will allow you to purchase a smaller unit, saving you money on the upgrade and operating costs.

  • Test Method 28 WHH for Measurement of Particulate Emissions and Heating Efficiency of Wood-Fired Hydronic Heating Appliances
    Method 28 WHH 8/3/2017 While we have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this Internet version of the document, it is not the official version. To see a complete version including any recent edits, visit: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR?page=browse and search under Title 40, Protection of Environment. Test Method 28 WHH for Measurement of Particulate Emissions and Heating Efficiency of Wood-Fired Hydronic Heating Appliances 1.0 Scope and Application 1.1 This test method applies to wood-fired hydronic heating appliances. The units typically transfer heat through circulation of a liquid heat exchange media such as water or a water- antifreeze mixture. 1.2 The test method measures particulate emissions and delivered heating efficiency at specified heat output rates based on the appliance’s rated heating capacity. 1.3 Particulate emissions are measured by the dilution tunnel method as specified in ASTM E2515-11 Standard Test Method for Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions Collected in a Dilution Tunnel. Upon request, four-inch filters may be used. Upon request, Teflon-coated glass fiber filters may be used. Delivered efficiency is measured by determining the heat output through measurement of the flow rate and temperature change of water circulated through a heat exchanger external to the appliance and determining the input from the mass of dry wood fuel and its higher heating value. Delivered efficiency does not attempt to account for pipeline loss. 1.4 Products covered by this test method include both pressurized and non-pressurized heating appliances intended to be fired with wood.

  • Solar Water Heating System Experimental Apparatus
    AC 2012-3019: SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS Dr. Hosni I. Abu-Mulaweh, Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne Hosni I. Abu-Mulaweh is professor of mechanical engineering currently on sabbatical leave at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. He earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly, University of Missouri, Rolla), Rolla, Mo. His areas of interest are heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. Page 25.1168.1 Page c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Solar Water Heating System Experimental Apparatus Department of Mechanical Engineering King Faisal University Al-Ahasa 31982, Saudi Arabia Abstract This paper describes the design and development of an experimental apparatus for demonstrating solar water heating. This solar heating experimental apparatus was designed to meet several requirements: 1) the system is to operate using the thermosiphon concept, in which flow through the system is created by density differences in the fluid; 2) to increase the solar energy absorbed by the water and improve the educational value of the project, the solar collector must have the ability to rotate in order to maintain a position perpendicular to the sun’s rays; 3) the experimental apparatus must be mobile. A prototype of a solar water heating system was constructed and tested. The solar collector rotated as the sun position/angle was changing, indicating the functionality of the control system that was design to achieve this task. Experimental measurements indicate that the water in the tank was heated by the solar energy being absorbed by the solar collector.
