Seminar 1 -- An Assessment of Unconventional Heat Pump Sizing with Variable Capacity Technology

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

Traditional methods for residential heat pump sizing allow for sufficient unit performance and comfortable indoor conditions. Variable capacity heat pumps have the ability to provide a range of sensible cooling, latent cooling and heating output, and therefore have flexibility in how they are sized for a specific application. Unconventional sizing of a variable capacity heat pump may offer energy savings and power demand reduction, while maintaining indoor comfort. This seminar examines two unique perspectives of unconventional heat pump sizing with variable capacity technology.
