i‑Vu® Open WSHP Controller

Advanced, open control for high‑performance water source heat pump systems
The i‑Vu® Open WSHP Controller (OPN‑WSHPM) delivers precise, energy‑efficient control of water source heat pumps with open‑protocol flexibility, advanced comfort and humidity management, and seamless integration into the Carrier i‑Vu® Building Automation System.

i‑Vu® Open WSHP Controller

Carrier’s WSHP Open controller is an integrated component of a Carrier water source heat pump. The WSHP Open controller continuously monitors and regulates water source heat pump operation with reliability and precision. This advanced controller features a sophisticated, factory-engineered control algorithm that provides optimum performance and energy efficiency. The WSHP Open controller also features plug-and-play connectivity to the Carrier i-Vu System. The Carrier i-Vu System combines state-of-the-art Carrier equipment, plug-and-play controllers, and the powerful, web-based i-Vu user interface to form a cohesive, intuitive, and fully-integrated BACnet® Building Automation System.

For added flexibility, the WSHP Open controller is capable of stand-alone operation. Or, it can be integrated with any Building Automation System utilizing the BACnet, Modbus, or N2 protocols.

i‑Vu® Open WSHP Controller

Comprehensive WSHP Control

Controls multi‑stage DX cooling, heating, and reheat (hot water, steam, or electric) to maintain precise space temperature and comfort.

Integrated Economizer & Ventilation Control

Supports modulating or two‑position waterside economizer and outside air damper control to meet ASHRAE® 90.1 and 62 requirements.

Advanced Comfort & Humidity Management

Built‑in routines for zone‑level humidity control, demand‑controlled ventilation, and optimal start improve comfort and indoor air quality.

Quiet, Efficient Operation

Independent fan speed modulation and compressor staging maximize latent heat removal while ensuring safe, quiet unit operation.
