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. All models come with 2-way remote connection, which allows for easier servicing and data collection. The advanced computation allows our heat pumps to operate at the highest efficiency all year round while ensuring comfort.
Key Features
Provides both heating and cooling
Adaptable to existing distribution methods (radiators, baseboards, ducts)
Hybrid mode, produces hot air through hot water production
Domestic hot water preheat
Backup electric heating for the coldest of days
Quiet Operation
Remote data collection, equipment service, and energy monitoring
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:
- Hybrid mode (HY): operates as a hot water generator that automatically provides a small amount of supplemental heating by hot air. Hot water generator, that also makes supplemental hot air.
- Forced Air mode (FA): operates as a standard forced air heat pump and can also maintain tank temperature for domestic or other hot water uses.
- Cooling Mode (C): operates as a forced air heat pump, producing chilled air.
- Cooling + HW mode (C+HW): Simultaneously produces hot water and chilled air, resulting in higher overall efficiency. The hot water can be potable or non-potable.
There are several options for backup heat, including electric resistance hot water heat or electric strip heat for forced air systems. Energy Catalyst manufactures a buffer tank which includes (1) or (2) integrated 4.5kW electric elements for use as backup heat.
