Heat pump theory

3. Heat pump theory

      A heat pump is essentially a heat booster that draws heat from the surrounding environment and transfers it to the heated object (a higher temperature object).The working principle is the same as that of the chiller, and it works according to the inverse Carnot cycle. The difference is that the operating temperature range is different.

 When the heat pump is working, it consumes a part of its own energy, and the remaining energy comes from the environment and is utilized by the heat transfer working fluid circulation system.The entire heat pump unit consumes only a fraction of the output power, so heat pump technology can save energy.

 The heat pump is a refrigeration system that supplies heat from the condenser. It is called a “heat multiplier”.At present, in the household heating and cooling air conditioners widely used in the market, heat pump heating is widely applied, and the heating coefficient thereof has reached more than 3.The hot water obtained by the heat pump principle is much more than the ordinary water heater, which is unmatched by conventional water heaters.
