Mechanical Hub | Coffee with Caleffi Small Scale Hydronic Cooling June 2024

Air-to-water and water-to-water heat pumps are often equipped with refrigerant reversing valves, allowing them to function as chillers. Small-scale chilled water cooling systems can be configured for various heating/cooling loads, client expectations, and budgets. When properly designed and installed, these systems provide several advantages over competing cooling methods. However, critical details must be accounted for Read more
