Atlanta-headquartered Rheem<\/a>\u2018s heat pump has been given an \u201cexemplary performance\u201d nod in the US Department of Energy\u2019s Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DOE launched the Heat Pump Challenge because, according to the program\u2019s\u00a0fact sheet<\/a>, \u201cadditional efforts are needed to address common technical and market barriers to wider adoption by consumers \u2013 which include performance at temperatures of 5F and below, installation challenges, and electricity grid impacts during peak demand periods.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, we need them to work reliably in cold climates. That\u2019s because heating and\/or cooling a home, along with water heating, account for 40% of the primary energy consumption in buildings in\u00a0the US\u00a0and are a major source of emissions.<\/p>\n

DOE is working with manufacturers to lab test the performance of cold climate heat pumps. Field testing will take place over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

Besides Rheem, other\u00a0manufacturers<\/a>,\u00a0such as Johnson Controls, Carrier, Trane, and Bosch, are also taking part in the challenge.<\/p>\n

Rheem reports that the DOE determined that its residential heat pump delivered outstanding results in the challenge.<\/p>\n

Rheem improved its existing design to deliver 5% higher COP \u2013 the ratio of how much useful heat a heat pump will produce if it\u2019s given a certain energy input \u2013 during heating at 5F ambient temperature than the DOE challenge specification.<\/p>\n

The Rheem heat pump also performed at a 9% higher HSPF2 (heating seasonal performance factor) than the DOE challenge specification.<\/p>\n

Jeff Goss, director, product management, at Rheem, said:<\/p>\n

\n

We were not surprised that our team of dedicated, innovative engineers at Rheem developed a residential heat pump that was able to provide 77% of nominal heating capacity at \u221215F ambient temperature [where the heat pump is stored] and provided uninterrupted heating operation at \u221223F ambient temperature, surpassing expectations and delivering top quality performance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The DOE is aiming for deployment and commercialization in 2024 after field testing.<\/p>\n
