Introducing a new compact water source heat pump

VersatecXL
Written by louise davey

WaterFurnace Commercial Solutions, a manufacturer of ground source and water source heat pumps, is releasing a new series to their commercial product line. The Versatec XL is their latest mid-tier technology. It combines high performance with a variety of in-demand features at a competitive value. The Versatec XL’s compact design makes it unique in the market. 

The reduced footprint of the unit is one of the most significant benefits of the Versatec XL product. It showcases the inventiveness of WaterFurnace’s designers and engineers, who were able to incorporate a host of new technology into a cabinet size significantly smaller than industry standards. Compared to previous WaterFurnace models, the length of the 12-15 ton heat pump has been reduced by 48%. Changing that one dimension saves ten square feet of units in the mechanical room.

WaterFurnace Commercial Solutions Senior Director of Engineering, Tim Hammond said: “Versatec XL’s small footprint makes it one of the most adaptable units for both new construction and retrofit projects, while Aurora Controls offers precise monitoring and information to ensure maximum performance. The Versatec XL is an innovatively engineered and technologically advanced option within the mid-tier water source heat pump market.”

Inside, Versatec XL boasts a backward curve plenum fan and a brushless DC electric motor. These components offer greater efficiency, easier maintenance and better reliability. The fan also has the added benefit of delivering greater static capabilities, which optimises filtration potential. WaterFurnace’s proprietary Aurora Controls monitor Versatec XL, including standard TXV refrigeration diagnostics and monitoring. True interlaced aluminium air coils are used and eliminate the chance of formicary corrosion.
