GROUND WATER SYSTEMS
Ground Water Systems (Open Loop) have been utilizing the earths natural
heat source/heat sink ability for over 40 years. Ground Water Systems draw
water from an aquifer via a supply well, pass through the Geothermal heat
pumps heat exchanger where heat is exchanged with the refrigerant inside
your FHP unit, then returned to the aquifer via a return well or simply disposed
of per local code. Ground water temperatures remain very constant (usually
within a degree) throughout the year despite wide variations in outside air
temperature, therefore your FHP Unit will maintain its super high efficiency no
matter how hot or cold it is outside. Ground Water Systems are ideally suited
for homes that have existing water wells available or a good potential source
for well water. When ground water is available this system usually has the
lowest installed cost.
VERTICAL SYSTEMS
Vertical Systems (Closed Loop) utilize the natural thermal properties of the earth
in a similar manner to the Ground Water Systems. However, instead of pumping
water out of a well then back into the ground, you simply circulate water or an
antifreeze solution through a closed loop network of plastic pipe that is inserted
into vertical bore holes. These vertical bore holes are typically drilled to a depth
of 100 to 300 feet per ton of air conditioning or heating. The Vertical System is
ideally suited for applications where available land area is limited. Similar to the
Ground Water System, the FHP Manufacturing Vertical System avoids wide
temperature swings of the outside air to deliver constant high efficiency and
comfort no matter where you live.
POND / LAKE SYSTEMS
Pond or Lake Systems (Closed Loop) may be the most economical closed loop
system to install and has many advantages for producing energy savings. This
system utilizes a nearby body of water such as a lake or a pond. As with the
Vertical and Horizontal Systems it is a closed loop of sealed and pressurized
plastic pipe and water or an antifreeze fluid solution. Instead of inserting the pipe
into a vertical well or laying the pipe in a horizontal trench the pipe is submerged
into a body of water (pond or lake) where it can utilize the consistent temperature
and outstanding heat transfer characteristics of the water. No wells and very little
trenching are required cutting installation costs. Once again the FHP
Manufacturing Pond or Lake System is not subject to the cruel outside air
temperatures that all air-to-air heat pumps are subject to year after year.
HORIZONTAL SYSTEMS
Horizontal Systems (Closed Loop) also utilize the Earths plentiful and
renewable thermal characteristics. Like the Vertical Systems, Horizontal
Systems circulate water or an antifreeze solution through a closed loop
network of sealed and pressurized plastic pipe that is buried in the ground.
Instead of inserting the plastic pipe into vertical wells the pipe is laid in
horizontal trenches at a typical depth of 4 to 6 feet and at a length of 75 to
400 feet per ton of air conditioning or heating. Recent innovations in horizontal
pipe configurations have made this system particularly attractive in first cost
as well as operating efficiency. Typically a little more land area is required to
install a Horizontal System. The same energy saving characteristics are
enjoyed with the FHP Manufacturing Horizontal System as with the Vertical
Systems.

Florida Heat Pump designed the EV Series Enviromiser product with the future of our environment as well as your economic future in mind. The
Enviromiser product has been designed with an environmentally friendly refrigerant that contains no CFC's or HCFC's.
Due to environmental issues involving the earth's ozone, many governments worldwide have chosen to eliminate R-22 refrigerant used in most
of today's residential heating and cooling products. As R-22 refrigerant is replaced over the next 10 years it's cost will dramatically increase as
has R-12 which was phased out beginning in 1990 (see graph). This increase in wholesale prices will naturally be passed along to the consumer
and translates into much higher maintenance costs for equipment with R-22 refrigerant. The Florida Heat Pump EV Series is your protection from
this potentially expensive maintenance liability.
The money saving efficiency of the Enviromiser makes it the perfect choice for your home comfort
needs, The chlorine free R-410A refrigerant is not only environmentally friendly, but it also has
unique heat transfer characteristics that make it extremely efficient when integrated into our
durable equipment design. The Enviromiser gives you protection from potentially skyrocketing
future maintenance costs, enhanced efficiency and you will be doing your part to protect the
earth's fragile ozone layer.
Our Enviromiser product provides quiet operation with a high-efficiency scroll
compressor, liquid line filter drier protection from potential moisture, pre-painted powder
coated cabinet finish and heavy-duty construction.
At Florida Heat Pump, we work hard to bring you reliable, efficient, environmentally responsible
products that give you year round comfort and piece of mind at a price you can afford.
