Heat Pump Air Conditioner - What makes the Heat Pump?

Heat Pump Air Conditioner. Types Of Pumps.

It is to be borne in mind that all types of heat pumps work in the same phenomenon i.e., transfer of heat from one environment to another. Thus, instead of burning fuel to warm rooms, they transfer or carry heat energy from a source (air source or geothermal) to a sink (home). Consequently, the energy requirement is much lower in case of heat pumps than the traditional appliances.

Heat Pump Home Depot. Heating In Winter.

Air from outdoors (air source heat pump) or ground (geothermal heat pump) is passed to the evaporator that transfers heat to the refrigerant. The refrigerant after absorbing heat from the coils get converted into vapor, which is then passed to the condenser placed in the indoors. The air inside the rooms is heated after coming in contact with condenser coils. This heated air is distributed though home vents and make the rooms warm and comfortable in cold weather.

Window Heat Pump Air Conditioner. Heating In Summer.

In hot weather conditions, the reversing valve in the heat pump makes the cold refrigerant flow in an opposite manner. The device now releases heat indoors, instead of pumping from outdoors or ground. Heat released inside the rooms is absorbed by the refrigerant, which travels to the outside and disperse heat. The refrigerant then cools down and flows back to indoors to take up more heat. This way, the indoor temperature is maintained low during summer.

Heat Pump Central Air Conditioner.  Energy Saving.

Depending upon machine sophistication, heat pump installation may cost somewhere around a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars. And if you contact a reliable contractor, complete installation of a heat pump will require not more than one day. Considering its low energy consumption, heat pump is probably the best appliance to solve energy crisis problem, faced by the world today.
