WaterFurnace International, Inc., a leading manufacturer of geothermal and water source heat pumps, introduces its Envision2 Compact
Series. The newest addition to the commercial product family offers
best-in-class efficiencies and features in a cabinet that is among the
industry’s smallest. This makes the unit ideal for boiler/tower
applications and the replacement of aging water source heat pumps.
Available in 0.75- to 6-ton capacities, the Envision2 Compact
design incorporates a number of advanced features, including the Aurora
generation of communicating controls. Options include a
factory-installed 24V motorized on/off water valve for
variable-frequency-drive (VFD) pumping with automatic internal water
flow control; hot gas bypass and reheat; and high-efficiency PSC,
5-Speed ECM, or variable speed ECM motors to meet efficiency and comfort
needs.
All Envision2 Compact units use environmentally friendly
R410A refrigeration and are more than twice as efficient as ASHRAE 90.1
efficiency standards. Single-speed models operate with a Copeland 5-K
Scroll™ or LG rotary compressor, while dual-capacity units use a
Copeland UltraTech™ compressor. All Envision2 Compact heat
pumps feature coaxial heat exchangers that are oversized and convoluted
with a copper inner tube and steel outer tube for maximum heat transfer
at normal and low water flow rates, minimizing pressure drop.
The heat pump’s compact cabinet is constructed of heavy-gauge
environmentally responsible galvanized steel for maximum corrosion
resistance. Interior surfaces are lined with ½-inch-thick, foil-lined
acoustic fiber insulation, applied in a manner that prevents the
introduction of glass fibers into the air stream.
