1.1 Product Overview

All Omega vertical stack heat pumps (VSHP) are engi-
neered for quiet and reliable year round operation.
Reliability
Omega water-source heat pump systems provide relia-
ble year round heating and cooling operation. Each unit
features an advanced microprocessor controller for en-
suring reliable and energy efficient heating and cooling
comfort.
Serviceability
Omega VSHP units come with a slide out chassis and a
blower assembly which are easily accessible through the
front return air panel. For servicing or repairs, a spare
replacement chassis can be temporarily swapped in
allowing for uninterrupted operation.
Energy Efficient
A VSHP system can transfer energy to different zones in
a building. During moderate weather, solar heat gain on
the south side of a building may require cooling while
the north side requires heating.
Customizable
Omega units can be customized to meet the specific
requirements of any project. Some options include: vari-
able cabinet height dimensions, choice of supply dis-
charge air locations and sizes, outside fresh air duct
locations, acoustic or perimeter return air panels, and
remote thermostat control.
Two Phase Installation
The equipment is shipped to site in two stages for inte-
gration with the phases of construction. This avoids po-
tential issues with storage, and on-site damage and
allows mechanical units to be installed in acceptable
environmental conditions.
Phase 1
 During the initial stages of construction, the cabi-
nets are installed. As construction progresses, they
become part of the interior wall structure.

Phase 2
 The refrigeration chassis is shipped as required and
installed into the cabinet after riser loop commis-
sioning and majority of construction is completed.
Riser loop must be cleaned and flushed and chemi-
cally treated prior to installing chassis units.
Testing & Quality
To maintain the highest level of quality control, each
refrigeration chassis is factory charged and tested be-
fore being shipped to the job site. The chassis produc-
tion and testing line features a computer controlled 6-
step quality control (QC) system to ensure that every
stage of chassis production is tested and re-tested.
Units are performance tested in Omega's state-of-the-art
in-house test facility to ensure unit performance and
reliability meets or exceeds industry standards. Each
unit is AHRI certified and ETL listed.
Our large scale production capability accommodates
short lead-times, and economies of scale enabling low
costs without sacrificing quality.
