True Heat Pump or Heat-Recovery Chiller?

A heat-recovery chiller only makes heat while it is cooling. A true water-to-water heat pump heats from a source loop with no cooling load. Answer three questions to see which one your project actually needs.

1. Do you need heating when NOTHING in the building is calling for cooling (e.g. winter-only heat)? 2. Do you have a usable source-water loop (groundwater, sewage, waste heat, river/sea)? 3. Do heating and cooling loads run at the same time for most of the year?

Guidance only — a full hourly load profile confirms the selection. Koven’s KASCMF line covers the true water-to-water heat pump case across 367–1,852 kW.
