2 Ton Mini Split. How do heat pumps work?
A heat pump is an environmental energy technology that extracts heat from low temperature sources (air, water, ground), upgrades it to a higher temperature and releases it where it is required for space and water heating. Heat pumps can also be operated in a reverse mode for cooling purposes. The heat pumping cycle can be divided in three steps:
Inverter Mini Split - Step 1.The Working Fluid.
A fluid with a boiling point lower than the heat source temperature serves as a medium for heat transport. It is called the working fluid or refrigerant. As the working fluid extracts the heat from the source through a heat exchanger, its temperature rises and it evaporates.

Then a compressor compresses the evaporated fluid, consequently, the pressure and the temperature of the vapour increase. When pumping up a bicycle tyre, you can also observe this phenomenon. The lower side of the pump – where the pressure is highest – is getting very hot.
Finally, heat is being transferred from the evaporated fluid to the heat distribution fluid (water or air) in the condenser. As it releases its heat, the working fluid temperature decreases to such a degree that it condenses. After passing through the expansion valve, the fluid regains its initial liquid, low-temperature and low-pressure state. It then flows back to the evaporator where the process starts all over again.
