OPERATION

The BULLDOG Heat Pump System is a novel combination of two traditional commercial HVAC building technologies.  The system combines conventional water cooled air conditioning and hydronic space heating, all in one package.  A BULLDOG unit operates as a fan coil in heating and a water cooled DX unit in cooling.  The compressors do not operate in the heating mode.  They can cool or heat any space at any time of the year.  Instead of a refrigerant reversing valve for heating, the BULLDOG unit diverts the loop fluid to a hydronic heating coil located inside the unit.  This loop fluid varies in temperature depending on outdoor ambient conditions.  As the ambient temperature gets colder, the fluid temperature is increased.
