  • NYSERDA Sponsored Technology in 2021

Double Hybrid Heat Pump

The Double Hybrid Heat Pump (DHHP) is a plug-and-play geothermal heating system that is designed to be adaptable to a wide variety of existing heating systems, including buildings with hot water radiators, baseboard, radiant floors, forced air, or some combination thereof. During winter operation, it supplies about 80% of its heat as hot water and 20% as hot air. It has automatic controls to help provide the proper amount of heat to the building while optimizing the system for maximum efficiency.

Built into the control panel are ports for an outdoor air sensor that is used for Outdoor Reset Control. This sensor will be used to vary the tank temperature setpoint during the heating season. The temperature range and amount of setback can be adjusted from the control screen.

Quiet Operation
Modes of Operation

The Double Hybrid is designed to work for a wide variety of types of buildings with two primary modes of heating operation:

  1. Hybrid mode (HY): operates as a hot water generator that automatically provides supplemental heating by hot air. Hot water generator, that also makes supplemental hot air.
  2. Forced Air mode (FA): operates as a forced air heat pump that will automatically maintain tank temperature for domestic or other hot water uses. Hot air generator, that also makes hot water.

Cooling mode and Water-to-Water mode are universal and can be used regardless of which heating mode is selected. There are several options for backup heat, including electric resistance hot water heat or electric strip heat for forced air systems. The Double Hybrid comes with a buffer tank which includes (2) 6kW electric elements for use as backup heat.

The Double Hybrid is capable of producing simultaneous hot water (or domestic hot water) and chilled air. Unlike other heat pumps, who use desuperheaters which capture about 5% of the rejected heat, the Double Hybrid can operate without the ground loop, rejecting 100% of its heat production to hot water while producing high efficiency cooling.
