A heat pump shares technologies used by AC units by transferring heat from one location to another using refrigerants and mechanical energy. Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling by inverting the direction of heat transfer.
The process begins by evaporating a low-pressure refrigerant, which absorbs heat from the heat source. The vaporized refrigerant is then compressed, increasing its temperature and pressure.
In the condenser, heat is released to the heat sink, causing the refrigerant to condense into a high-pressure liquid. After passing through the expansion valve, the refrigerant becomes a low-pressure mixture and returns to the evaporator to repeat the cycle.
Benefits include saving energy and reducing overall operational costs. This advantage is realized by maintaining a constant, and lower compressor speed that uses less electricity opposed to frequent cycling of equipment on and off. Each cycle draws more electricity at each start-up.
Inverter technology avoids this by maintaining a minimum speed, consuming between 25% and 50% less than traditional devices.
