CO2 Heat Pumps
Bill Stocky
Member Posts: 17
Heat pumps with CO2 (carbon dioxide) as the working fluid instead of conventional refrigerants have been used extensively in Japan for the last 10 years and in Europe for the last 5 or so. They can output 190 degree water for use with DWH or could be used with radiators for hydronic heating. I would think that they would also work wonderfully as a geothermal heat pump.
I have tried to find a source for them in the US but haven't been able to. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

CO2
Hi Bill,I beleave Copeland has a new comp on the market that uses CO20 -
There...
was an article in the RSES magazine a couple of months ago on CO2 systems. As I recall multiple manufacturers have compressors out there or are testing. The article seemed to give them good reviews with high efficiency. I'll see if I can find it and post a link.0
