HOW HEAT PUMP WORKS
Harnessing Nature's Warmth
At H2O VAULT, we specialize in advanced heat pump technology that provides an eco-friendly, efficient way to heat your home or business. But how exactly does a heat pump work? Let's dive in.
The Science Behind the System
A heat pump operates on the simple principle of heat transfer. Using a small amount of energy, it moves heat from one location to another. During colder months, heat pumps extract warmth from the outside air or ground and transfer it indoors. Conversely, in warmer months, they reverse the process, removing heat from your building to keep it cool.
The Core Components
-
Evaporator Coil: Outside air passes over this coil, containing a refrigerant that absorbs heat and evaporates.
-
Compressor: The refrigerant, now a warm vapor, is compressed, which increases its temperature.
-
Condenser Coil: Inside your home, the hot refrigerant vapor releases its heat, which is distributed through your space.
-
Expansion Valve: After losing heat, the refrigerant cools down and expands, turning back into a liquid to start the cycle again.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact
​
Heat pumps are a sustainable choice, often utilizing renewable energy sources like air or ground heat. This process can be far more energy-efficient than traditional heating or cooling systems. By transferring heat rather than generating it, heat pumps can provide the same comfort levels as conventional heaters using a fraction of the energy.
