ZEBx is proud to partner with BCIT and three CO2-based DHW heat pump suppliers to present our three-part, in-person Technology Demonstration Series workshops.

About this event

BACKGROUND

If you've been reading ZEBx’s case studies on high-performance buildings, you may have noticed a recurring theme. Heat pumps are being used to generate domestic hot water. As more and more regulations target emissions reductions, this will become far more common. Not all DHW heat pumps are created equal though. Some use refrigerants with high global warming potential, while other heat pumps use refrigerants with ultra-low GWP like CO2.

HAPPENING THIS MONTH

This is your chance to see the new heat pump in-person!

This inaugural demonstration workshop will focus on the Lync Aegis heat pump water heater – a new arrival to the BC heat pump scene. Lync by Watts is a new brand, launched as a sister-company to PVI & AERCO under the Watts Heating & Hot Water Solutions umbrella. The Lync brand focuses on packaged systems with integrated components, designed & controlled to work together. The flagship model of the Lync brand is the Aegis commercial heat pump water heater. Riada Sales Inc. is Lync’s representative firm in Western Canada, specializing in providing high quality HVAC equipment, instrumentation, and plumbing products since 1995.

Brian Cummings, Product Manager for Lync, will provide a technical overview of the heat pump and answer questions following the presentation.
