I always do them upright and stuff them with ANYTHING. Chicken livers with bacon wrapped over the top, fresh sausage, salmon spread ... the combinations are limitless and good

Looks like the discussion got a little off track. Does this unit have hot gas bypass, from one of the posts it sounded like it did. If so, what is it set at? It could simply be a bad valve or an...

Believe it, most all TXVs are bidirectional. You do lose some capacity when used in the reverse direction, but they work. All Geo manufacturers get by with one except in split system applications...

Use PE pipe with fused connections. It's the same thing that is used in loop fields and has gained approval for inside use.

Go to WaterFurnace.com. There is a dealer locater using your Zip Code on this site.

Dealing with large scrolls, 15 ton. I need to take a poll. Would you prefer sweat or rotolock terminations on the compressor? We presently use rotolocks, manufacturing would rather braze.

WaterFurnace EW360 and EW540 30 and 50 ton units. These should meet the requirements.

Agree, if your protection level is only 25, you are skating on the edge of freezing in the coax, especially if flows are low. Protect the loop to 15, and get flow rates up, and the system should be...

NOthing wrong with a 32 deg. loop this time of year depending on location. the question is the flow through the units, is it high enough? Rough number look for 4-6 deg. drop (given that the...

When you suspect the air coil, it's good practice to disconnect the fan motor and freeze the coil. You can then see which end tubes are not freezing.

Not sure I understand your question. Do you want to use a vertical loop bore hole as a water well? If so, I don't think you have to worry about a code violation between the refrigerant and the...

Had a call once, trying to sell me an electrically operated bed. I told her it would be of no use because I am Amish. She appologized. I don't think it occurred to her why come I had a phone.

How about Fort Wayne? Check out WFI.

Does the term NPSH ring a bell? Negative pressure on a circulator pump is almost always a bad thing. Check the mfg's data for pump and see what the NPSH (net positive suction head)is required and...

I can understand that, are you able to get the interruptable rate on electricity?

Personally, I would stay away from anything that depends on fossil fuel for back-up. You will have better EERs with a DX system than a hydronic system just do to the fact that you have one less heat...

Any system is only as good as the installer. Ask around, get some references from customers. I do know that there are good dealers up there.

I agree about the bury depth of the water line, not too important as there will constant flow as it gets colder out. You can cool with a water to water unit, it is perfectly capable of generating 45...

Pond loop is out of the question, pond too shallow. A little hard to size a geo to supply all the heat at your design conditions, it would have to be really large.

You cannot heat the earth with solar. The earth is nothing but a large heat sink. The higher the delta T between the solar and the earth, the quicker it will disappear. You are ahead to put the...

How do you feel about them. Would you rather have hog hair than a dog size of 1" throw away? How many are using factory filters or installing a better filter by another vendor?

We will be controlling water flow, the refrigerant control will not be an issue.

Yes, we will be controlling the flow through the coax to satisfy a discharge air temp sensor. Not really so difficult. Reheat is inherently not efficient, so the drop in EER can be justified.

Thank you all for the input. We are building this machine per an engineer's spec, and there isn't one of course. This will be going on a water source machine and we will be generating our own hot...

I agree with you, but should I size for the sensible capacity of the DX coil at an entering air condition of 80/67 or at a lower temperature? Thanks for the reply.
