TranquilityWater-To-Water (THW) Design Features
TheTHW Series is unlike any other water-to-water heat pump on
the market today. The large operating map of the scroll compressor
allows high temperature operation,up to 145°F [63°C] leaving
load water temperature even at 32°F [0°C] entering source water
temperature. The combination of a coaxial (tube-in-tube) heat
exchanger for the source (ground loop) side and a brazed plate
heat exchanger for the load (heating/hot water) side provides very
high efficiencies. Integral controls for hydronic heating and domestic
water heating avoid the need for external microprocessor-based
controls for outdoor temperature reset, warm weather shutdown,
staging and other controls.
TheTHW has an extended range refrigeration circuit,capable of
ground loop (geothermal) applications as well as open loop (well
water) applications. Standard features and factory-installed options
are many. Unique application-specific controls make theTHW
series ideal for hydronic heating and domestic hot water generation.
The heating-only refrigeration circuit is optimized for high water
temperatures, heating efficiencies,and capacities.
ClimateMaster’s dual level compressor isolation mounting system,
insulated compressor enclosure,and compressor discharge muffler
make theTHW series one of the quietest water-to-water heat
pumps available. The attractive“Euro-style” cabinet allows the unit to
fit into any decor.

controls and cupro-nickel Source Heat Exchanger.
Service & Installation Advantages
• Hinged front access door and 3 removable panels for ease of
installation and service.
• Galvanized steel construction with protective powder coat paint
and stainless steel,hinged front access door.
• EarthPure®HFC-410A zero ozone depletion refrigerant.
• Circuit breaker protected 75VA control transformer.
• High and low pressure service ports on refrigerant circuit.
• Accurate refrigerant sensing low temperature protection.
Factory Quality & Certifications
• All units are built on our Integrated Process Control Assembly
System (IPCS).The IPCS is a unique state-of-the-art manufacturing
system that is designed to assure quality of the highest standards of
any manufacturer in the water-source industry.Our IPCS system:
-Verifies that the correct components are being assembled.
- Automatically performs special leak tests on all joints.
- Conducts pressure tests.
- Performs highly detailed run test unparalleled in the
HVAC industry.
- Automatically disables packaging for a“failed”unit.
- Creates computer database for future service analysis and
diagnostics from run test results.
• All units are water run-tested in all modes to insure efficiency
and reliability.
• Heavy gauge galvanized steel cabinets are epoxy powder coated
for durable and long-lasting finish.
• All refrigerant brazing is done in a nitrogen atmosphere.
• All units are deep evacuated to less than 100 microns prior to
refrigerant charging.
• All joints are both helium and halogen leak tested to insure annual
leak rate of less than 1/4 ounce.
• Coaxial heat exchanger, refrigerant suction lines and all water
lines are fully insulated to eliminate condensation problems in low
temperature applications.
• Noise Reduction features include:dual level compressor isolation
and interior foil-faced cabinet insulation.
• Safety features include:high pressure and loss of charge to protect
the compressor, and low temperature protection sensors to
safeguard the heat exchangers. Fault lockout enables emergency
heat and prevents compressor operation until thermostat or circuit
breaker has been reset.
• Standard 10-year limited warranty on all parts with 5-year labor
allowance;Optional additional extended 5-year limited labor
allowance available.
• AHRI/ASHRAE/ANSI/ISO 13256-2 certified.
• ETL listed.
• US EPA“Energy Star”compliant.
• ISO 9001:2000 Certified.
Options & Accessories
• Full Condensing HotWater GenerationWith Internal Secondary
Heat Exchanger and PotableWater Circulating Pump.
• Factory Installed“Load” and“Source”Pumps.
• Factory Installed ExpansionTanks.
• Cupro-Nickel SourceWater Coil.
• Additional Extended 5-year limited labor allowance.
