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.

What is the formula for the coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat pump operating in the heating mode?

The formula for the coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat pump operating in the heating mode is the ratio of the heat output to the work input. It is calculated as COP Qh / W, where Qh is the heat output in watts and W is the work input in watts.

How do heat pumps work below freezing temperatures?

Heat pumps can still work below freezing temperatures by using a backup heating source, such as electric resistance heating, to provide warmth when the outside air is too cold for the heat pump to efficiently extract heat.


What specifically is a heat pump?

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy from one place to another, typically using electricity. It can both heat and cool a space by extracting heat from the air or ground outside and transferring it inside (for heating) or vice versa (for cooling), making it an energy-efficient heating and cooling solution.
