5. Airco heat transfer Business Connecting and Development Hot air Cold air

7. Heating and cooling mode Business Connecting and Development Air heat pumps are ideal for mild climates

8. Other types of heat pump Business Connecting and Development Ground heat pump In this solution the heat pump uses a pipe-loop buried about a metre below ground.

9. Other types of heat pump Business Connecting and Development Water heat pumps A water heat pump is a variant of the ground heat pump. The only difference is that it uses a hose on the lake floor (or other water source) instead of a pipe buried below ground.

10. Other types of heat pump Business Connecting and Development Rock heat humps A rock heat pump is another variant of ground heat pumps, and a very common one. The system uses the solar energy stored in the rock shelf and the loop is lowered into a 100–150 metres bore hole in the rock .

11.

12. Efficiency Coefficient of performance (COP): COP = Output/Input = 3 to 5 Heat pump 3 – 5 kWh of heat 2 – 4 kWh of air heat 1 kWh electricity

15. installation Business Connecting and Development In general, correct heat pump installation can be achieved by addressing four critical areas: 1. the indoor air handler, especially the airflow over the fan-coil unit and through the forced air duct system; 2. the refrigerant system, especially the refrigerant charge; 3. the outdoor unit, especially its air supply; and 4. the control system, especially the thermostat that turns the equipment on and off.
