What component allows heat pump to switch between heating and cooling modes of operation?
the reversing valve is what actually changes the refrigeration cycle from heat to cool. the reversing valve receives its signal from the thermostat.
Central unit blowing cool air instead of hot when heat is on?
sounds like t stat is programmed wrong, reversing valve coil is bad or reversing valve is stuck.
Where must a suction line be placed in a heat after a motor burnout?
between the comp and the reversing valve
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.
How does a split system heat pump work?
The reversing valve switches the flow of refrigerant from cool to heat inside and outside the home.

between the comp and the reversing valve
Where must a suction-line drier be placed in a heat pump after a motor burnout?
between the comp and the reversing valve
In a heat pump installation the direction of flow refrigerant vapor is reversed through what component when the cycle is reversed from heating to cooling?
The reversing valve
What makes a heat pump change from cooling to heating Is it the reversing valve or is it something else I guess what i am asking is it that componet or does it have some kind of thermostat on it?
Typically, your central thermostat sends a 24 volt signal to a terminal labelled "O", down a (usually orange-colored) wire to the reversing valve. This energizes the valve to switch over to cooling operation. For heat, the 24 volt signal is removed, and the valve defaults to the heating position.The HVAC Veteran
What is the difference between a refrigerator and a heat pump?
A refrigerator takes heat out of a small compartment by expanding a gas and utilising the laws of thermodynamics; a heat pump pumps warm air, heated by the sun, from a roof cavity into rooms in a houseto warm them and pumping the cold air into the roof to be heated.
Where must a suction - line drier be placed in a heat pump after a motor burnout?
Between compressor suction and reversing valve,also called true suction.
