Heat Pumps - Solutions for You
A heat pump is a thermal device that uses natural energy resources to produce usable heat. In other words, the equipment draws energy from an external source and then, after a series of physical processes, releases heat to the system. Choosing a heat pump for your home is a way to heat domestic water with low energy expenditure. Alternatively, the equipment can even be used for space heating.
Types of heat pumps
There are several types of heat pumps, and the main division relates to the energy source used by the pump. Each of the commonly used devices can be assigned to one of the following categories:
- air pumps – the source of energy is the air outside the building in which the device is located;
- Ground pumps – heat is extracted from the ground;
- water pumps – groundwater is used as the energy source.
The most common choice is the air heat pump, due to the simplicity of installation and operation. In the case of ground- and water-based units, excavation is required, which increases the level of difficulty of the process and increases the cost.
How does the pump work?
The mechanism of operation of a heat pump is usually similar, although it depends in part on the heat source used. In the case of a classic air model, the process proceeds in the following steps:
- Energy extraction by the external part of the device.
- Absorption of heat by the water inside the pump.
- The start of the evaporation process due to the increase in the temperature of the water.
- The air compressor starts up.
- The coupling of water vapor occurs.
- As a result of compression, condensation of water vapor takes place.
The heating medium enters the circuit.
Why is a heat pump for your home a good choice?
Heat pumps are steadily gaining in popularity, which should come as no surprise these days. Why exactly is the benefit of installing this heating device today? It will become clear to you when you learn about the advantages of using a heat pump at home:
Low cost of heat production
The pump is usually powered by electricity, with minimal energy requirements. This means very low monthly costs for heating water or, in some situations, rooms. In the face of ever-increasing heating prices, opting out of mains heat seems an extremely attractive option.
Environmentally friendly device
The pump uses natural energy sources without depleting resources or emitting pollution. It's environmentally friendly equipment, especially when paired with a photovoltaic system.
Maintenance-free
A well-installed high-quality pump is an essentially maintenance-free device. Forget about adding fuel or constantly changing the settings.
Versatility
The pump is most often used to heat domestic hot water, nevertheless you can also use it for space heating or even as an air conditioning unit.
Universal application
The pump can supply heat to a classic hot water system, but also to an underfloor heating system. If properly selected, it will work well in conjunction with almost any modern water and air heating solution.
