![]() ![]() ![]() The goal is to move to 100% fossil-fuel free buildings, but this blended approach allows for thoughtful, staged decarbonization in certain areas or projects where a full-switch isn’t immediately possible. So, we designed a series of part load applications, or part load skids that are designed to fill the part load application in new construction or be a more economical way to convert existing buildings into either part-load electric heat pump or full-load electric heat pump and reuse some of the existing infrastructure. You can downgrade the use of the gas boiler, and have it fill the normal use of a swing tank which means now you just need to provide heat pumps and primary storage for it. You don’t need the swing tank and the building pump and the recirc system because the existing building may already have a suitable system. So, the two things you really need are heat pumps and a bunch of primary storage. An electric heat pump system is going to need lots of storage that these buildings won’t have. In many existing buildings there’s going to be a conversion from a gas boiler or another system, over to an electric heat pump system. The split energy system can also be applied to existing buildings. So that would be a part load system: You look at the entire load and you set up a system where the heat pump contributes to part of the full load. So, you could have a hybrid system in a building like this, where there still is a gas water heater, but you’ve also built a heat pump plant, like one of our WaterDrop skids which contributes to the water load but cutting in half its fossil fuel use and carbon emissions. Part load plants are an interesting development in that in new construction in some jurisdictions some the initial code demands will not be 100% electric heat pumps, but a requirement for 50%. The second phase was splitting away the heat pumps and creating a two-piece package, where heat pumps could be placed in one location and the tanks in another location.Īnother the new development is the part load plants. We started with the original package of a fully packaged central heat pump water heating plant with heat pumps, primary storage and swing tank, the temperature maintenance valve, and the building recirc pump all in one insulated package that could be dropped in and hooked up. The biggest changes that have happened is that we’ve matured numerous designs, creating a good array of packages for a large spectrum of building sizes, load shapes and building needs. ![]() About Us About us Warehouse Locations Contact Us Network.Learn Event Calendar Small Planet Supply Blog Learning Center Technical Library and More Small Planet University SANCO2 for Combi Systems Consultation Appointments Better Building Coach Small Planet YouTube Channel. ![]()
