CO2 Heat Pumps for Commercial Hot Water: Temperature Lift and System Fit

Updated October 2026 CO2 heat pumps use carbon dioxide refrigerant, also called R744, to move heat into water. They’re a strong option for commercial hot water when cold make-up water, high storage temperatures and a well designed circulation system work…
Condenser Water Supply Temperature: Setpoints, Tower Limits and Chiller Protection

Updated October 2026 Quick Specs Application: recirculating, tower-based commercial and industrial chiller plants. Supply measurement: water entering the chiller condenser. Temperature limit: the installed model’s approved operating envelope. Energy comparison: chiller, tower fans and affected pumps at comparable conditions. Condenser…
Commercial Geothermal Systems: Ground-Loop Feasibility Before Equipment Selection

Commercial geothermal systems are viable when the site can accommodate a ground heat exchanger and the building’s year-round loads fit the ground loop and heat-pump temperature limits. Establish these facts prior to equipment selection. A project with adequate evidence can…
AHRI 920 for DOAS: How Buyers Should Read Rated Performance

Updated October 2026 · Commercial equipment selection AHRI 920 establishes methods for rating the performance of direct-expansion dedicated outdoor air system (DX-DOAS) units. When comparing two DX-DOAS units, check the edition of the report, the model configuration, and the rating…
DOAS Unit Cost: Build a Comparable Commercial Project Quote

Quick Specs for a comparable quotation Application: commercial ventilation and moisture control. Airflow: scheduled outdoor air in CFM. Fan duty: external static pressure in Pa or inches of water. Cooling selection: entering dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures, leaving dew point and…
Installing Rooftop Chiller Units: Loads, Airflow and Access

Rooftop chiller units cool water or other liquids for equipment elsewhere in the building and require specific coordination with the roof, air paths and the personnel who will service the equipment. Cooling capacity alone won’t determine if the location chosen…
20 Industrial Heat Pumps Manufacturers for Process Heating

Last updated: October 2026 The best industrial heat pumps manufacturers depend on the heat duty: Koven Air for hydronic hot water with building cooling, GEA for refrigeration heat recovery, Mayekawa for hot-air processes, and Turboden for large integrated steam projects.…
Chiller Evaporators: Fouling, Freeze Risk and Performance Diagnosis

Before discussing replacement for evaporator chiller problems, check that the readings describe the same operating condition. Start with the heat exchanger, its refrigerant circuit, and the process fluid. A useful investigation separates lost heat transfer from restricted flow, unreliable sensing,…
Top 20 Ground Source Heat Pump Manufacturers for Commercial Projects

The best ground source heat pump manufacturer depends on the commercial system: Koven Air for large screw-compressor plants, WaterFurnace for individual air-conditioned zones, Kensa for modular UK heating, and Clivet for four-pipe heat recovery. Start with the building’s water or…
Valve Authority in HVAC: Size the Valve for Its Circuit

A valve can fit the pipe and still be wrong for the coil. Valve authority explains how much of a hydronic circuit’s pressure drop belongs to its control valve. That determination influences how valve movements affect the water flow, especially…
