How does a heat pump work?

Heat pumps/air conditioners work by flowing refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units. The refrigerant is heated and evaporates in the indoor unit and then gives off heat to the outdoor unit, returning to a liquid state. This cycle makes room cooling possible. In addition, between seasons, air conditioners can also act as a heat pump, which helps reduce heating costs. Thus, air conditioners are versatile devices that provide thermal comfort and can contribute to energy savings.

Types of heat pumps

Depending on the type of heat source, heat pumps are divided into: air source (which extract heat from the air), water source (which extract heat from ground water or bodies of water), ground source (which extract heat from the soil). All types of heat pumps work on the same principle, but differ in efficiency and installation costs.
