Integrated System

The Trane ground source heat pump is highly efficient in service station applications.

This integrated system design takes advantage of the earths relatively constant temperature

(45 F to 70 F) to space condition the building. In addition, appliances such as freezers, ice makers and a display coolers may be added to the loop for further gains in the reduction of consumed energy.

Cold climates may take an even greater advantage of the heat rejected by the stores refrigeration equipment and space conditioning heat pumps. This rejected heat may be used by Trane’s water-to- water heat pump(s) to heat water for a car wash and melt ice off of a driveway (allowing the car wash to remain open all winter).

This integrated system also eliminates thermal short circuiting between the intakes and the exhausts of an air cooled refrigeration system.

Typical Benefits

θAnnual energy savings means lower operational costs

θTakes advantage of the earths constant temperature rather than high fluctuation of ambient temperature

θHeat energy rejected from the space conditioner can be utilized for ice or snow melting of a parking lot in colder climates

θTwo to three year estimated payback on installation costs
