HEAT PUMPS

Heating and Cooling with a Heat Pump

A heat pump is an electrical device that extracts heat from one location and transfers it to another. The heat pump is not new; it has been used for decades in the U.S. and worldwide. Refrigerators and air conditioners are both common examples of this technology.


The heat pump cycle is reversible and can provide year-round climate control for your home – heating in the winter and cooling and dehumidifying in the summer. Since we are in Florida, the ground and air outside always contain some heat; a heat pump is a great and very efficient way to supply heat to a house, even on cold winter days. Air at -0°F contains about 85 percent of the heat it contained at 70°F.

How Heat Pumps Provide Comfort

Heat pumps transfer heat by circulating a substance called a refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. A compressor pumps the refrigerant between two heat exchanger coils. In one coil, the refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs heat from its surroundings. The refrigerant is then compressed en route to the other coil, where it condenses at high pressure. At this point, it releases the heat absorbed earlier in the cycle.


Refrigerators and air conditioners are heat pumps operating only in the cooling mode. A refrigerator is essentially an insulated box with a heat pump system connected to it. The evaporator coil is inside the box, usually in the freezer compartment. Heat is absorbed from this location and transferred outside, usually behind or underneath the condenser coil's unit. Similarly, an air conditioner transfers heat from inside a house to the outdoors.


The heat pump cycle is reversible, and heat pumps can provide year-round climate control for your home – heating in winter and cooling and dehumidifying in summer. Since the ground and air outside always contain some heat, a heat pump can supply heat to a house, even on cold winter days. Air at –18°C contains about 85 percent heat at 21°C.
