How to Install Split Air Conditioner System in Covington? An Air Source Heat Pump.

An air source heat pump is a very efficient and interesting piece of machinery. It is considered part of the renewable energy sources because it uses very little electricity. These heating units operate in the same manner that a refrigerator does. Basically, take the heat from the outside air and transport it inside or vice versa. Often these heat pumps used to heat buildings by extracting heat from the air outside and inside movement. However, some of them can do the opposite as well, thereby cooling the building. This system can also be used to heat water for a construction.

The main parts include outer compartment and an interior compartment. These compartments house coils containing the coolant. The evaporator is located outside, using heat and air to increase the temperature of the refrigerant, which moves inside the compressor that raises the temperature further. At this point the coolant has reached its boiling point and is in the form of a vapor.

From compressor refrigerant travels to the condenser, which releases heat in the building. Finally, the refrigerant passes through an expansion valve before returning to the outer compartment to start the process again. During this part of the process, the refrigerant cools enough to return to a liquid state before leaving the building.
