Ilios Inks Rep Agreement and Sale with Sam DeSanto Co.
Order Placed for an Ilios Water-Source High-Efficiency Water Heater
WALTHAM, Mass. — Ilios Inc., a subsidiary of Tecogen® Inc., announced it has signed a manufacturers’ representative agreement with Sam DeSanto Co. Inc. (SDCI), a Mid-Atlantic based HVAC and plumbing equipment supplier. Concurrent with the signing of the agreement, SDCI placed an order for an Ilios water-source high-efficiency water heater.
The Ilios unit is planned for installation at Landstown High School, Virginia Beach City Public Schools’ (VBCPS) Governor’s STEM and Technology Academy. The unit will supply thermal energy for the school’s hot water systems (HVAC heating and reheat) while simultaneously chilling water to maintain comfortable temperatures and dehumidification in the building. Ilios said the product is uniquely designed to operate in this configuration; that is, its advanced thermodynamic cycle enables it to extract thermal energy from the occupied spaces and deliver that energy (through the heat pump cycle) at an elevated temperature to the school’s hot water system. Under design conditions, each Btu of fuel will deliver three units of energy to the school — one in the form of air conditioning and two as hot water, thereby tripling the efficiency of the current system.
