Air Source Heat Pumps

Frost on an evaporator coil will prevent the correct amount of airflow across the coil. Anytime the evaporator coil experiences reduced airflow across its face, there will be a reduced heat load on the coil.

Air-source heat pump sales are heating up. This is evidenced by the latest Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) shipment numbers, which identified that heat pump shipments were up more than 14 percent in March 2018 when compared to March 2017.

Due to advancements in technology and efficiency and the swelling consumer awareness, ductless equipment continues to be one of the fastest-growing sectors throughout the HVACR industry.

Nortek needed all hands on deck at the AHR Expo as the company showcased numerous new equipment lines in multiple categories, including split system air conditioners, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) units, data center management modules, heat pumps, gas/electric packaged systems, and more.

There are plenty of good reasons why more commercial and residential customers are adopting ductless system solutions in place of old-tech, costly and bulky central split systems. Ductless systems offer major advantages and unbeatable performance when it comes to conditioning air faster, maintaining more accurate temperatures and reducing energy costs.

The NEWS introduces the latest heating equipment available for the upcoming winter season.

Like last year, this year’s Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/light commercial information is published in this issue, and the commercial products will be featured in the Oct. 2 issue. Feature-specific information about each individual product is included as submitted by the manufacturers.
