Heat Pumps – How do they work?

Heat pumps work in much the same way as a refrigerator in a house but in reverse; a technology known as the Refrigeration Cycle or Vapour Compression.

The technology is based on using a refrigerant (heat transfer medium) that evaporates at low temperatures.

There are four stages/components in a heat pump operation:

  • Evaporator –Heat is taken from an outside source (i.e., air or ground) which is warmer than the refrigerant that is used in the system. The refrigerant therefore absorbs this heat, as it passes over it, and evaporates.
  • Compressor – The vapour generated in the evaporator is now compressed, which increases its pressure and its temperature.
  • Condenser – The heat of the vapour is taken away from it by a heat exchanger, giving this heat to the water in a tank, which can then be used for heating space or hot water purposes. Taking the heat away from the hot vapour returns the vapour to its liquid form.
  • Expansion Valve – The vapour’s pressure and temperature are further reduced making it ready to start the cycle again.
