Summary

When considering conventional solutions for the air conditioning of buildings, fan coil and static cooling systems tend to dominate. Heat pump systems have traditionally presented a low cost alternative, but their adoption has been held back by constraints on system capacity and reservations on the use of refrigerant in main cooling circuits. Recently, a new system that uses heat pump technology, with water instead of refrigerant as the heat transfer medium, has started to attract the interest of some commercial developers and end-user clients in the UK, as a viable alternative to fan coil units.
