Air-to-Water Heat Pump System

An air-to-water heat pump system integrates air-to-water heat pumps with virtually any hydronic heating and cooling equipment for reliable electrified heating and cooling. 

Additionally, our Trane air-to-water heat pump systems provide design tools, control sequences and expert guidance for integrating air-to-water heat pumps into large commercial buildings including schools, healthcare facilities and commercial real estate. These pre-engineered systems simplify the implementation of air-to-water heat pumps, offering customizable options for different building applications and climates.  

Unlike gas or steam heating systems that only generate heat, air-to-water heat pumps (AWHP) can cool or heat buildings by simply moving heat from place to another. 

AWHPs work together with virtually any other hydronic heating equipment. When used in combination with heat recovery chillers, heat is recovered from inside the building to meet heating requirements. When more heating is needed, the AWHPs transfer heat from the cold outdoor air to heat the building. When cooling is required, the AWHPs can reject heat from inside the building. Additional chiller equipment can also be used reject heat to meet large cooling loads.

Each AWHP can only operate in either cooling or heating mode at one time. When both heating and cooling are needed at the same time, multiple AWHPs can be controlled to work together to meet simultaneous loads.
