What areHeat Pumps?
Heat pumps are a highly efficient, eco-friendly way of providing heating and hot water to our homes. By taking “free energy” from the air via a refrigerant cycle they generate heat without releasing any carbon emissions.
Heat PumpsExplaining the Cycle of a Heat Pump
1. Capture
The fan passes ambient air over extremely cold liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant captures the heat from the ambient air and becomes a warm vapour.
2. Compress
The warm refrigerant vapour passes through a compressor which produces hot refrigerant and usable heat.
3. Exchange
The heat in the hot refrigerant is then transferred to the heating and hot water cylinder through a heat exchanger.
4. Expand
Once the heat has been transferred to the house, the refrigerant passes through an expansion valve. This reduces its temperature, making it really cold again and enabling it to capture heat from the ambient air, continuing the cycle.
