Microprocessor controlled heat pumps, air handling control, remote diagnosis capabilities.

Summary

The heat pump is no longer considered as the only solution to all heating needs. For some specific needs however, it has proven to be the preferred solution for end users as well as for service people. To reach such a level of end user satisfaction, it was necessary to develop heat pump designs matching exactly the customer needs and to provide tools to service people for easy and efficient maintenance. The report covers two subjects: first to show in specific conditions how a new design was developed to best fit the required operating specifications. The design covers the commonly met problem of heating needs with a total and constant air renewal, alternating with "no-occupancy" periods where recycled internal air is just reheated; second to present improvements to the existing local and remote diagnosis of machine operating conditions. For both aspects, the modern computerized techniques are widely used.
