Flow at Berkeley Labs

Flow Environmental System’s first U.S. demonstration will showcase the ANSWR CO2 Heat Pump system at the Department of Energy’s FLEXLAB® testing facility. The ANWSR system will demonstrate simultaneous heating and cooling in large commercial buildings. The project kicked off in July 2024 for an expected two-year installation.

ANSWR is a 100% electric heat pump utilizing safe and efficient refrigerant grade CO2 that can operate as a cooling-only chiller, heating-only heat pump or boiler, domestic water heater, or all at the same time with a single power feed as a simultaneous heating and cooling system. This innovative solution can assist California in its goal to decarbonize large buildings.

DMG’s Bay Area training center will install an identical operational system for training and education. Training courses will address the various aspects of these heat pump systems design, installation, and maintenance. Hands-on training for those involved in installation, service, and maintenance will help to ensure the successful adoption of this advanced technology to a wide range of existing large buildings and applications.
