50YEWWater-To-Water Design Features
The 50YEW 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.
The 50YEW 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 the 50YEW
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.
The dual level compressor isolation mounting system,insulated
compressor enclosure,and compressor discharge muffler make
the 50YEW series one of the quietest water-to-water heat pumps
available. The attractive“Euro-style”cabinet allows the unit to fit into
any decor.

of installation and service.
• Galvanized steel construction with protective powder coat paint
and hinged front access door.
• Bi-directional thermal expansion valve.
• Puron®HFC-410A zero ozone depletion refrigerant.
• Circuit breaker protected 75VA control transformer.
• High and low pressure service ports on refrigerant circuit.
• Accurate refrigerant sensing freeze 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:
a.Verifies that the correct components are being assembled.
b.Automatically performs special leak tests on all joints.
c. Conducts pressure tests.
d.Performs highly detailed run test unparalleled in the
HVAC industry.
e.Automatically disables packaging for a“failed”unit.
f.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,
insulated compressor compartment,interior cabinet insulation
using 1/2”coated glass fiber, and variable speed fan.
• Safety features include:high pressure and loss of charge to
protect the compressor, condensate overflow protection,freeze
protection sensors to safeguard the coaxial heat exchanger
and air coil,hot water high-limit and low compressor discharge
temperature switch provided to shut down the hot water
generator when conditions dictate. Fault lockout enables
emergency heat and prevents compressor operation until
thermostat or circuit breaker has been reset.
