The objective is to study a system that combines a Water Source Heat Pump System and a Fan Coil system on the same two pipe loop.  We will examine a hybrid water source heat pump system that doesn’t operate the compressors in the heating mode.  Instead it absorbs the fluid heat directly from the fluid loop with hydronic coils.  The energy benefits will be demonstrated along with “fuel switching”.. the process of transferring the compressor heat to the boiler plant where a lower cost fuel source can be used.  The economic benefits of fuel switching will be discussed.
