Types Of Heat Pumps

Devices that transfer thermal energy from one space to another are heat pumps. If you want to know a lot more about these pumps, then read this blog till the end.

Heat pumps use the principle of a thermal compressor to extract thermal energy from a low-temperature source and transfer it to a higher temperature that is used for water heating and space heating. Low temperature sources can be earth, water or air. This pump can be used in winter for heating and in summer for cooling. In the summer months, this pump can extract heat from the space and transfer it to the outside environment, which makes it possible to cool the space.

Depending on the source from which it takes heat, there are several types of these pumps.

The most common pump that is installed is the air-water pump. It uses air as a heat source and transfers the heat to the water system used for water and space heating.

Then there are earth-water pumps. These pumps use energy from the ground and transfer the heat generated in this way to the water heating system.

Another type of these pumps is water-to-water. These pumps take heat energy from water such as rivers and lakes and then transfer it to the water system used for heating.

Pumps that use the earth or thermal water as a source of heat are called geothermal pumps, and absorption pumps use thermal energy to start the absorption process and thus transfer that energy to water in the system of pipes that heat the space.

If you want to have one of the most energy-efficient solutions, which will save you a lot in heating and cooling, find out everything about heat pumps, which can provide you with such efficient heating.
