Your heat pump is going to be a great tool to have around, no matter what the weather is doing outside. You will love how it can keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, without causing a lot of high energy bills at the same time. But recognizing how this machine will work and seeing why it can heat and cool a home so efficiently is important as well. Some of the parts of a heat pump to consider includes:
# The heat pump will often come with at least one outside unit and sometimes one or more indoor units, depending on the size of the property that you need to work with.
# Each of the indoor and outdoor units will be connected together using a refrigerant line. This is basically a long metal tube that is set up to be a loop.
# The refrigerant line is going to be filled up with refrigerant. This is a substance that will store heat and can switch between a liquid and a gas at the right temperature and pressure to help with your home.
# Each of the outdoor and indoor units will have a coil, which is sometimes known as a heat exchanger. The coil is going to be a contraption where the refrigerant tube is coiled behind some metal fins that will be able to absorb or release heat well. Coils can be known as condensers and evaporators, which is sometimes confusing in all of this.
# All of the indoor and outdoor units will have a fan to help blow air across the coils as well.
# There are a few different valves that will be along the refrigerant loop. Some are there to help change the pressure and others will change the direction that your refrigerant is flowing, depending on which mode you are in.
# The compressor will be the heart of the whole thing. It can help pump refrigerant through this while also being the pressurizing valve at the same time.
