Upgrade Home's Comfort with Hydronic Air Handlers

Over the years, hydronic air handlers have been an integral aspect of HVAC systems, transferring warmth and coolness from boilers and AC units through ductwork. However, the Arctic Air Handlers are built on improved efficiency and cutting-edge technology.

Advanced Heating and Cooling Benefits

Arctic Air Handler has variable frequency drives (VFDs) and massive 6-row heat exchangers. These innovative features make them the most efficient hydronic air handlers available. They perfectly complement lower-temperature heating sources like geothermal systems, hydronic heat pumps, and condensing boilers. All these systems work efficiently at cooler temperatures.

The Significant Features of Arctic Hydronic Air Handlers

6-Row Heat Exchangers – These exchangers are nearly 400% larger than those available in most hydronic air handlers. They can maximize heat transfer at lower water temperatures. 

The exchangers can handle traditional high-temp boilers and provide up to 150,000 BTU at 190°F. Their special design reduces pressure loss and provides hassle-free and smooth operation.

Variable Speed Motors -These 3-phase direct drive motors don’t require a startup capacitor and provide incredibly noiseless and energy-efficient operation. They adjust their power usage based on the requirements and use only what's necessary while providing impressive airflow.

WAG Variable Speed Drive Controller – The WAG Variable Speed Drive Controller converts single-phase 120 VAC to a more efficient 3-phase that operates the fan motor and modulates power output to match the load requirements. The load demand will be less than 100 watts at constant fan speed. 

The controller has an easy touch setting, enabling users to program individual fan speed settings for cooling mode, heating mode, and fan-only mode. This system monitors the static pressure of the heating or cooling system and adjusts according to any changes like closed vents or dirty filters.

How Does this Hydronic Air Handler Work?

The variable speed fan control provides incredible versatility. Arctic air handlers can handle different heating or cooling capacities. For example, the Arctic LV-Z-1750 provides 3.5 to 5 tons of heating/cooling, while the LV-Z1050 tackles 1.5 to 3 tons. 

The built-in pressure sensor automatically sets the right fan speed based on your home's layout without accurate precise fan-to-duct matching. This automatic adjustment boosts air circulation for heating and cooling efficiently. 

Zoning for Personalized Comfort

Made with the VFD technology, this hydronic air handler allows you to create heating zones like hydronic heating systems. Zone dampers are connected to individual thermostats that open and close based on requirements. 

If both zones require heating, the vents open to provide airflow. When a zone is turned off, the corresponding damper closes and increases the system pressure. Typically, traditional furnaces continue to operate at full speed, wasting energy. However, the Arctic Air Handler identifies the rising pressure and reduces fan speed, reducing noise and operating costs.

Switching to Advanced Heating and Cooling Technology 

Arctic hydronic air handlers are manufactured with advanced technology to deliver superior efficiency.  With exceptional heat transfer capability, adaptability to diverse heating and cooling needs, and significant energy savings, these hydronic air handlers make the frontrunners in modern comfort solutions. 

Whether you are using a geothermal system, hydronic heat pump, or condensing boiler, invest in an Arctic Air Handler for all your heating and cooling needs. For more information about our hydronic air handler system, please contact us today at 1-866-800-8123.

7 Best Reasons to Invest in an Arctic Inverter Heat Pump

 

When it comes to pool and spa heating, the Arctic Inverter Heat Pump stands out. Manufactured with cutting-edge technology, the heat pump for the pool redefines the standards of efficiency and versatility. This heat pump is North America's only UL-listed cold weather spa and pool heat pump.

Common Challenges with the Traditional Heat Pumps - 

Usually, traditional pool heat pumps face two major challenges that limit their effectiveness:

Seasonal Limitations – Most heat pumps lose efficiency when outdoor temperatures go down. So, they are ineffective during the colder months.

Temperature Constraints - Standard heat pumps are unable to attain high temperatures which makes them unsuitable for hot tubs where warmer water is desired.

 

Why Do You Invest in an Arctic Inverter Heat Pump?

1. Operating in Extreme Cold –

The Arctic Inverter Pool Heat Pump addresses the limitations of traditional heat pumps. This heat pump comes in four sizes, ranging from 5 kW to 26 kW, ensuring suitability for hot tubs and pools. The unit operates efficiently in temperatures as low as -20°C (-5°F), making it a reliable choice in colder climates.

2. High-Temperature Water Outlet –

Unlike conventional heat pumps, the Arctic Inverter Heat Pump can generate a maximum outlet water temperature of 104°F (40°C). This heat pump system provides the warmth required for a relaxing and enjoyable hot tub experience.

3. Low Ambient Temperature Operation –

Engineered to address cold weather challenges, the Arctic Inverter Heat Pump features a hot gas defrost and a reversing valve. This feature enables the system to provide usable heat energy even in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C).

4. Titanium Heat Exchanger –

The Arctic Inverter Heat Pump comes with a titanium heat exchanger, designed to withstand the harsh environment of pools and spas. The system is resilient against chlorine, bromine, and salt and this heat exchanger ensures a long working life.

5. Wi-Fi Enabled Controller –

The heat pump stays in control no matter where you are with the Wi-Fi-enabled controller. The Smart Life App allows for remote monitoring and control. This app enables you to adjust temperatures, change heating modes, and receive system alerts on the go.
