C403.4.3.3.2 Heat Rejection
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The following shall apply to hydronic water loop heat pump systems in Climate Zones 3 through 8:
- Where a closed-circuit cooling tower is used directly in the heat pump loop, either an automatic valve shall be installed to bypass the flow of water around the closed-circuit cooling tower, except for any flow necessary for freeze protection, or low-leakage positive-closure dampers shall be provided.
- Where an open-circuit cooling tower is used directly in the heat pump loop, an automatic valve shall be installed to bypass all heat pump water flow around the open-circuit cooling tower.
- Where an open-circuit cooling tower is used in conjunction with a separate heat exchanger to isolate the open-circuit cooling tower from the heat pump loop, heat loss shall be controlled by shutting down the circulation pump on the cooling tower loop.
Exception: Where it can be demonstrated that a heat pump system will be required to reject heat throughout the year.
