Heat Pump Loops: View

Heat pump loops are HVAC applications that operate multiple heat pump controllers (which are also spaces) running pumps that move water through the loop.  

Heat pump loops have characteristics of air systems and chiller plants:  

• Like air systems, they determine the overall operation of the water loop based on the demands of the space controllers.
• Like chiller plants, their primary function is to provide water at the proper temperature to the HVAC system.

Water-source heat pump systems consist of three controllers:

• A water-source-heat-pump controller stages the HVAC unit fan, compressors, and heaters to control space temperature.
• A Tracer Loop Controller (TLC) runs the water loop pump, boilers and/or cooling towers to control the water temperature inside the loop.
• The Tracer Summit BCU or Tracker panel coordinates the TLC and the HVAC controllers.

To view a heat pump loop:

1. Go to Home | Building Name | Systems | Heat Pump Loop.  The Heat Pump Loops page appears.
2. Click on the name of the heat pump loop you want to view.  The Heat Pump Loop page appears, which is a list of the Spaces/Heat Pump Controllers in the loop.
