The WaterFurnace EKW and NKW models are the industry leader in water to water ground source heat pumps. The EKW range runs from 6-17 kW capacity while the larger NKW ranges from 20-130 kW nominal capacity. All capacities are reversible and can be used as reversible chillers in commercial installations.
WaterFurnace water to water units have been used in various applications including:
- Hydronic infloor heating;
- Pool and/or spa heating;
- Industrial process waters;
- De-icing of driveways and footpaths;
- Space conditioning via fan coil units;
- Ice storage;
- Hot water heating;
- Greenhouses;
- Fish hatcheries and various other applications.
A schematic of a typical centralised reversible chiller system is below:
This application enables simultaneous heating and cooling as demanded by the building. In the schematic above, 5 units are providing cooling and 1 unit is providing heating. As each unit is reversible and the system is modular, the system can be optimised to meet the varying heating and cooling demands of the building.
