What is an EC motor?
EC, or Electronically Commutated motors are a type of very efficient, brush-less DC motors seeing increasing use in HVAC systems. The brush-less design over traditional carbon brushes allows for efficient operation on AC power while providing the benefits of DC motors. Such energy efficiency gains are important in the context of green energy goals and net-zero targets.
What is the difference between 2-pipe and 4-pipe hydronic fan coils
2-pipe systems feature one coil and one water circuit, a single heat exchanger (coil) is used for either heating or cooling with the system switching seasonally. 4-pipe systems feature two coils and two separate water circuits, this allows the unit to have one dedicated cooling coil and one dedicated heating coil to allow simultaneous heating and cooling.
