How Does Heating From A Heat Pump Work?
The heart of the heat pump is the Copeland scroll compressor. The compressor continuously pumps the ozone safe refrigerant from the outside coils to the inside coils. The refrigerant carries the heat with it to be released inside the house. Then the warm air is circulated throughout the home by the furnace fan. In the summer the flow of the refrigerant reverses and the house is cooled in the same way. The scroll compressors are extremely reliable and virtually trouble free. Copeland is the largest manufacturer of heat pump compressors in the United States. Our Goodman heat pumps are built to last with reliable Copeland scroll compressors. Scroll compressors are very durable because they have fewer parts than the older reciprocating compressors and are also simpler in construction. Instead of pistons and valves which the older compressors had, the scroll compressor has a scroll that orbits to compress the refrigerant.
Why reverse cycle airconditioning is not more effective in winter?
A Reverse cycle Air conditioner is MUCH more efficient than resistance heating. It is called a heat pump, and requires that the Evaporator and Condenser coils of a Closed Refrigerant System be reversed.
How do reverse cycle air conditioner work?
A reverse cycle air conditioner work like normal air conditioners only in reverse, transferring heat into a house instead of outside of one. It is not an air conditioner at all, but a heater.
What are heat pumps used for?
A heat pump is a central air conditioner that uses a reversing switch to operate in reverse; the way the air conditioner works in the summer. If you went to the big fan unit (condenser) outside your house during the summer, you would notice, it blows hot air from the fan . Heat pumps are used to produce heat for residential housing, economically, by absorbing temperate winter air, and using it to heat your house. Heat pumps can usually maintain heat in your house down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, until you would need to use another source to heat your house. Heat pumps are mostly used in the Southern parts of the United States, where the winters are mild, Heat pumps can be economically used in other parts of the United States where average temperature during the winter may not go below the 20 degrees, disused earlier, and the break-over price for fuel cost using the main furnace. Usually, propane gas, verses running the electricity for the heat pump is more economical. To find out if a heat pump would work for your situation. Contact a qualified hvac contractor to perform an energy survey of your residence.
Are heat pumps efficient below 30 degrees?
The new generation of heat pumps are efficient below thirty. Just make sure the one you buy is designed for your climate.
Why do heat pumps operate more efficiently than electric?
refrigerant has a natural affinity for heat
Why do heat pumps operate more efficiently than electric furnaces?
refrigerant has a natural affinity for heat
Central air conditioner a heat pump wheezes when turns off?
Heat pumps have a reversing valve in the outside unit. You are hearing a balance of refrigerant pressures when the reversing is energized or de-energized.
Where the reverse valve is located in the heat pump?
Reverses the flow of refrigerant through the system so it absorbs the heat from the outside ambient air and then rejects the heat through the evaporator and into your duct work.
Can somebody advise an air-water heat pump manufacturer?
I suggest "WAVE". Here is the website: http://www.waveheatpump.com/ Specialized in air-water heat pumps and water heating solutions, Wave Heat Energy Equipment Limited (China) is in a leading position on the technical fields of low-ambient-temp-running, high/low pressure balance, refrigerant additive, system control, etc. Wave produce new generation air-water heat pumps applying advanced technology: Water-cycle type domestic heat pumps (no refrigerant coils in tanks), instant-heating type commercial heat pumps, and high quality swimming pool heat pumps. The product series can meet various water heating requirements. To see application examples, click http://waveheatpump.com/projects/projects.htm

How does the Heat pump produsce heat in the winter?
Unlike traditional heating systems like furnaces or boilers that burn fuel, heat pumps don't actually PRODUCE heat - instead, they use a special type of refrigerant to move heat from the outside to the inside. You can think of it like an air conditioner in reverse: With an air conditioner, the refrigerant moves from the compressor, where it is compressed into a hot liquid. The liquid releases its heat outside, aided by the fans on the compressor. Now cooled, it moves into the evaporator, where is absorbs heat around it and turns back into a gas. The evaporator coil gets extremely cold, and when air blows over it and into your house, the air is cooled. A heat pump works the exact same way, but opposite - they pull heat from the outside air and blow it into your home. Heat pumps are effective even when it FEELS cold outside - in fact, many can pull heat from the air even when the temperature is lower than 30oF!
Does heat pumps need Freon to blow heat out?
Yes, the heat pump (in the heating mode) is like an air conditioner in reverse. It cools the outside air and heats the room air. Of course, you need Freon to do this heat-transfer process.

Is it normal for the air conditioner intake to blow cold air when the heat is on?
Air conditioning will expel heat to the outside when cooling. On the heat cycle the reverse is evident
What heat are pumps?
A better way to heat and cool your home - but it may be expensive in the git go. Heat pumps have a problem heating with temperatures below 35 degrees. They can't provide heat if it is below 35 degrees outside. Pipes are laid under ground to use the 55 degree amibent heat there and the heater with 55 degree coolant, the heat is extacted by the heatpump to warm your house. They can also work in the reverse to cool homes. Acting similar to a refrigerator, heat pumps can draw heat from the home and transfer it into the ground and tamp into the cooler ground temperature.
