50YEW Water-To-Water Design Features
The 50YEW series is unlike any other water-to-water heat pump on
the market today. The large operating map of the scroll compressor
allows high temperature operation, up to 145°F [63°C] leaving
load water temperature even at 32°F [0°C] entering source water
temperature. The combination of a coaxial (tube-in-tube) heat
exchanger for the source (ground loop) side and a brazed plate
heat exchanger for the load (heating/hot water) side provides very
high efciencies. Integral controls for hydronic heating and domestic
water heating avoid the need for external microprocessor-based
controls for outdoor temperature reset, warm weather shutdown,
staging and other controls.
The 50YEW has an extended range refrigeration circuit, capable of
ground loop (geothermal) applications as well as open loop (well
water) applications. Standard features and factory-installed options
are many. Unique application-specic controls make the 50YEW
series ideal for hydronic heating and domestic hot water generation.
The heating-only refrigeration circuit is optimized for high water
temperatures, heating efciencies, and capacities.
The dual level compressor isolation mounting system, insulated
compressor enclosure, and compressor discharge mufer make
the 50YEW series one of the quietest water-to-water heat pumps
available. The attractive “Euro-style” cabinet allows the unit to t into
any decor.
