Abstract: In a split system heat pump cooling and heating system, an auxiliary hot water storage tank is provided as an energy storage bank. Two sets of coils run through this storage tank, a first set carrying hot refrigerant from the heat pump to deposit energy and a second set carrying hot potable water to remove energy. Valve and switch matrixes are operated at the heat pump to provide hot potable water from the energy storage bank during both normal space heating and cooling operations of the heat pump.

Abstract: A rapidly assembled pre-fabricated array of heating elements, such as tubing or wire, on a rigid mesh, for use in radiant panel heating and/or cooling systems, reduce costs by streamlining both the design layouts and the labor operations to fabricate and install the systems. The pre-fabricated arrays may be installed with the mesh on the finish floor side for additional protection of the heating elements during and after installation.

Abstract: A two stage indirect evaporative cooler that moves air from a blower mounted above the unit, vertically downward into dry air passages in an indirect stage and turns the air flow horizontally before leaving the indirect stage. After leaving the dry passages, a major air portion travels into the direct stage and the remainder of the air is induced by a pressure drop in the direct stage to turn 180° and returns horizontally through wet passages in the indirect stage and out of the unit as exhaust air.
