You will be responsible for the "physics" of the system—ensuring that high-capacity heat pumps are integrated into hydronic circuits that actually deliver on their efficiency promises. Core Technology Focus 1. Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) Cascade Systems: Designing multi-unit ASHP arrays for commercial peak loads. Defrost & Ambient Logic: Managing acoustic mitigation, airflow requirements, and defrost cycle impacts on system continuity. Bivalent Integration: Designing systems that integrate ASHPs with existing LTHW or backup heat sources. 2. Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) Array Design: Coordinating borehole heat exchangers (BHE), horizontal loops, and thermal conductivity testing. Ambient Loops: Designing 5th Generation heat networks and "sharing" energy across multi-user sites. Passive Cooling: Leveraging ground temperatures for high-efficiency cooling integration. ...
