Nyle’s Sales Engineer, Jacob Bucklin, recently traveled to Hawaii to aid in the commissioning of two C185 Water Source units. Jacob was also able to visit some other customers in the area as well as some of our Rep firms. Here are some pictures and information from our trip.
These two C185 Water Source Units recently replaced some older technology at a location in Hawaii. They are currently being used in a reheat loop for a dehumidification system. This application uses source water from a chilled water loop where the additional cooling provided by the heat pump is utilized. These heat pumps are equipped with a Master Control Panel (pictured below) which provides a Lead/Lag operation based on compressor run time hours. This Master Control Panel also provides the customer with a single hub for inputting set points, viewing the performance of the equipment along with any alarms that may occur. It also acts as a single point of connection into a Building Management System.
