This Phius Wisconsin webinar will examine how air to water
heat pump systems can be leveraged to improve thermal
resilience in buildings.

Learning Objectives:
LO1: Participants will be able to define thermal resilience and
its impact on occupant safety and welfare.
LO2: Attendees will be able to identify the necessary tools to
simulate small residential buildings for thermal resilience,
and identify the aspects of the building that influence this
performance.
LO3: Participants will understand the components and
controls of a hydronic space conditioning system for small
residential buildings, whether aimed at thermal resilience or
energy performance.
LO4: Attendees will be empowered to evaluate thermal
performance of building envelopes through a new lens.

This Phius Wisconsin webinar will explore an advanced
cascade HVAC/R design with Flooid Power co-founder Ben
Schwartz and Mark Maynard, Board Chair & Director of Research.

Cascade HVAC/R Design and Proprietary Auto-Control
System (PACS)
• Conventional heat pumps, air conditioners, dual-function,
and commercial refrigeration systems use a single
compressor and single refrigerant that operate well within a
relatively limited temperature range. This means that
efficiency and capacity drop off dramatically at extreme
temperatures, requiring backup heating in cold climates and
inefficient and insufficient cooling in high outside
temperatures.
• FPS’s cascade design uses more than one compressor and
low-GWP refrigerants selected for their efficiencies in desired
operating temperatures. PACS optimizes the interaction
between the cycles—because of this optimization,
superheats of between 1-3 ̊F are sufficient to prevent
flooding the evaporator coil and potentially the compressors.
Low superheats maximize heat transfer and energy
efficiency.
• The FPS design and PACS can be adapted for every
application in the HVAC/R industry, adding efficiency,
capacity, and range to heating, cooling, dual function,
hydronic, steam, and refrigeration systems.
