tions of 77°F entering water temperature
and 80.6°F dry bulb/66.2°F wet bulb entering air temperature (ground loop heat pump). A copy
of the manufacturer’s applicable unit rating must accompany
this application.
Qualifying Water-to-Water Ground Source Heat Pump efficiency ratings are verified using manufacturer specifications which clearly
demonstrate the
Entering Water Temperature (EWT), Gallons Per Minute (GPM) water flow, and the associated EER rating. EER rating is at
AHRI/ISO 13256-2 cooling conditions
of 77°F entering water temperature and 53.6°F leaving water temperature (ground loop heat pump).
Please include manufacturer’s specification sheets verifying this information.
