/
WSHPs operate similarly to traditional air source heat pumps (ASHPs) in that they transfer heat rather than creating it from a combustible fuel. Both incorporate a refrigeration cycle to facilitate heat transfer and both include a valve to reverse the cycle, depending on whether the unit is in heating or cooling mode. The primary distinction between WSHPs and ASHPs is….

/
Water source heat pump (WSHP) systems can be successfully and advantageously applied in a wide variety of commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential buildings. The commonality that makes any of these potentially suitable for WSHP design is the need for simultaneous heating and cooling with individualized zone control. But WSHPs can be useful in meeting other requirements….
