    摘要: A liquid to air switching flow system includes a switching flow apparatus within a housing and a source loop and a production loop that are in fluid communication with the switching flow apparatus. The production loop includes a heating/cooling coil that includes a coil input that receives fluid the switching flow apparatus and a coil output that returns fluid to the switching flow apparatus. In a heating mode a first heat exchanger, acting as a condenser, is fluidly connected to the production loop to provide heated liquid to the heating/cooling coil. In a cooling mode, a second heat exchanger, acting as an evaporator, is fluidly connected to the production loop to provide cooled liquid to the heating/cooling coil. A fan is positioned within the housing to push air across the heating/cooling coil to heat the air in the heating mode or cool the air in the cooling mode.

    摘要: An installation includes an in-building hot water supply system, a hot water heat pump, an energy storage arrangement containing a mass of phase change material and a heat exchanger coupled between the hot water system and the heat pump, and a processor to provide a signal to the heat pump based on the opening of an outlet of the hot water supply system. The mass of phase change material has enough latent heat capacity to heat to a predetermined temperature a predetermined quantity of water in the interval from the opening of an outlet of the hot water supply system until at least the heat pump begins to heat water in the hot water supply system. Also provided is a method of controlling a heat pump in such an installation.

    摘要: A hot water unit fluid supply control system for a hot water unit is disclosed. The hot water unit has a heating system that is operable in a heating cycle to heat up water in at least a first region of the water unit, and a sensor arrangement for sensing a temperature of water of the hot water unit. The control system comprises a control unit configured to: receive operational data relating to an operation of the heating system; receive temperature data from the sensor arrangement; and allow for a volume of water from the first region to be released from the hot water unit as treated water or usable water based on: the operational data, and the temperature data from the sensor arrangement.
