HEAT SOURCE OPTIONS
Source selection matters.
The available source and required output temperature shape the operating result.
01 AIR-TO-WATER
02 WATER-TO-WATER
03 WASTE HEAT
01 / SOURCE
Air‑to‑water
Outdoor air provides heat to a water circuit. Siting is often simpler, while source conditions vary.
Seasonal ambient conditions and defrost
Required water supply temperature
Space, noise and electrical capacity
DESIGN QUESTION
What is the seasonal performance at the actual water temperature?
Assess the full operating year.
02 / SOURCE
Water‑to‑water
A water or glycol circuit provides heat to the heat pump where a suitable loop is available.
Source temperature and flow stability
Heat exchanger and water quality
Simultaneous heating and cooling potential
DESIGN QUESTION
Is there a dependable source flow when the heat is needed?
Availability matters as much as temperature.
03 / SOURCE STRATEGY
Waste heat recovery
Capture usable rejected heat and upgrade it to the temperature required by the site.
Refrigeration or cooling rejection profile
Process exhaust, return water or effluent
Source‑to‑sink temperature lift and hours
DESIGN QUESTION
Can a warmer source reduce lift and improve the project COP?
Often paired with water‑to‑water plant.
