Northern Heat Pump's Loop Design Software
Northern Heat Pump's Loop Design Software is a customized version of LoopLink residential/light commercial ground loop design software offered by Northern Heat Pump in partnership with Geo-Connections. This online loop design software will enable you to design ground loops for multiple zone, multiple heat pump geothermal systems faster and more accurately than ever before.
Features
- Multiple Zone / Multiple Heat Pump Support
- Model systems with up to ten zones each containing as many heat pumps as necessary to cover the load.
- Supports Dual Fuel System Design
- Complete support for dual fuel integrations where conventional (natural gas, propane etc.) systems are used for back-up with flexible control strategies based on hourly or target temperature for dual fuel operation.
- Fixed Length or Fixed EWT Design Modes
- Design the way that makes the most sense to you. Start with a target Entering Water Temperature (EWT) for your system or model your loopfield based on desired length/depth for your trench or bore.
- Hot Water Generation
- Fully supports domestic hot water generation including desuperheaters, independent units and on-demand operation.
- System-Wide Loopfield Configuration Comparison
- Quickly and easily compare the feasibility of horizontally bored, horizontally trenched and vertically bored loopfield configurations on a system. Horizontally trenched design configurations include slinky, straight pipe and racetrack.
