heat pump components

Heating Pumps are unique devices that transfer heat from the outside to the inside, thus providing the desired atmosphere in our houses. Their utility in a smart manner is by working with the different constituents. In general, a heat pump has two essential components, namely, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. A pipe called a refrigerant line connects the two parts. This pipe allows the heat to transfer from one unit to the other, which is how the heat pump works.

Indoor Unit: This component is located inside your home. It contains vital parts such as the air handler and the evaporator coil. The air handler circulates air throughout the rooms and the evaporator coil absorbs heat from the indoor air.

The role of the compressor in heat pump systems

The heat pump itself can be thought of as having a heart, which is its compressor. It is located in the outdoor unit and has a very vital role. The compressor compresses a gas known as the refrigerant. This makes the gas hotter, and then it pushes the hot gas to the condenser coil. This is the process which helps release heat to the outside. Without the compressor working, a heat pump can not move heat from one space to another. That means the compressor needs to stay clean and in tip-top shape to give the heat pump the best chance to work its magic.

Another key component of the heat pump system is the evaporator coil. This coil is located inside the indoor unit. The evaporator coil works to pull heat from the air in your home. It operates by absorbing heat from a liquid refrigerant that then becomes a gas. The gaseous refrigerant then returns to the compressor. The compressor then compresses the gas and pumps it outside, where the heat is expelled to the air. So, for the heat pump's efficiency, it is very essential to have a good evaporator coil. If everything is in good working order, the evaporator coil can help the heat pump keep your home heated and toasty.
