York 17 Seer Heat Pump System Features:


Improved temperature control-

  • The inverter driven compressor and modulating system will automatically adjust capacity, in heat or cool mode, to precisely match the comfort demands of the space providing closer temperature and humidity control.

Factory Backed Warranty-

  • 10 year parts & labor Warranty are available.

  • Life time compressor warranty


Quality Coils-

  • Enhanced aluminum fins are mechanically bonded to copper tubing and coated to shed water during defrost cycles.
     

Protected Compressor-

  • Compressors are protected by the system high pressure switch and low pressure sensor

.
Long Line Set-

  • These models are factory capable for long line set installations up to 246ft. 


Reliable Operation-

  • Ball bearing fan motors provide superior performance in extreme temperatures.  Factory installed accumulator protects the compressor while operating across a wide range of conditions.


Thin Profile-

  • The thin profile allows for installation on narrow lots and allows compact location on multi-unit applications.


Low Operating Sound Levels- 

  • Developed using CFD and FEA tools, the sturdy cabinet and top design provides sound performance as low as 56 dBA. 

Description:

  • The HMH7, 17+ SEER Modulating Heat Pumps are the newest offering in our successful LX Family of split system heat pumps.  These units use a state of the art inverter driven compressor to precisely meet customers comfort requirements.  Using a conventional heat pump thermostat, the system will automatically adjust capacity and airflow to meet the comfort requirements of the consumer, maximizing comfort while minimizing energy bills.   Designed to work with York variable speed or standard ECM indoor air handling equipment it provides consumers and dealers system installation options. Should the unit ever require service the main control and inverter control both provide system self-diagnostics.

This system is not only great for energy efficiency, it's also great for tight spaces.

Types

 

Air source heat pump

Air source heat pumps are used to move heat between two heat exchangers, one outside the building which is fitted with fins through which air is forced using a fan and the other which directly heats the air inside the building. These devices can also operate in a cooling mode where they extract heat via the internal heat exchanger and eject it into the ambient air using the external heat exchanger. 

Air source heat pumps are relatively easy and inexpensive to install and have therefore historically been the most widely used heat pump type. In mild weather. While at temperatures below around 0 °C (32 °F) an air-source heat pump may still achieve a COP of 2.5. The average COP over seasonal variation is typically 2.5-2.8, with exceptional models able to exceed this in mild climates.

Geothermal (ground-source) heat pump

A geothermal heat pump or ground-source heat pump draws heat from the soil or from groundwater which remains at a relatively constant temperature all year round below a depth of about 30 feet. A well maintained geothermal heat pump will typically have a COP of 4.0 at the beginning of the heating season and a seasonal COP of around 3.0 as heat is drawn from the ground.

Geothermal heat pumps are more expensive to install due to the need for the drilling of boreholes for vertical placement of heat exchanger piping or the digging of trenches for horizontal placement of the piping that carries the heat exchange fluid (water with a little antifreeze).

A geothermal heat pump can also be used to cool buildings during hot days, thereby transferring heat from the dwelling back into the soil via the ground loop. Solar thermal collectors or piping placed within the tarmac of a parking lot can also be used to replenish the heat underground.

Water source heat pump

A water-source heat pump  works in a similar manner to a ground-source heat pump, except that it takes heat from a body of water rather than the ground. The body of water does, however, need to be large enough to be able to withstand the cooling effect of the unit without freezing or creating an adverse effect for wildlife.

Solar-assisted heat pump

A solar-assisted heat pump is a machine that represents the integration of a heat pump and thermal solar panels in a single integrated system. Typically these two technologies are used separately (or are operated in parallel) to produce hot water. In this system the solar thermal panel performs the function of the low temperature heat source and the heat produced is used to feed the heat pump's evaporator. The goal of this system is to get high COP and then produce energy in a more efficient and less expensive way.

Heating and cooling of buildings

In HVAC applications, a heat pump is typically a vapor-compression refrigeration device that includes a reversing valve and optimized heat exchangers so that the direction of heat flow (thermal energy movement) may be reversed. The reversing valve switches the direction of refrigerant through the cycle and therefore the heat pump may deliver either heating or cooling to a building. In cooler climates, the default setting of the reversing valve is heating.

The default setting in warmer climates is cooling. Because the two heat exchangers, the condenser and evaporator, must swap functions, they are optimized to perform adequately in both modes. Therefore, the SEER rating, which is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, of a reversible heat pump is typically slightly less than two separately optimized machines. For equipment to receive the Energy Star rating, it must have a rating of at least 14.5 SEER.
