How does a heat pump work?
Heat Pumps in the Winter
In winter heating mode, the outdoor unit heat exchanger takes heat energy from the surrounding outdoor air using refrigerant as the heat transfer medium.
Next, the heated refrigerant is pumped through copper pipes to the indoor units heat exchanger. The heat energy is then transferred to the cooler indoor room. This is achieved via the air passing over the indoor heat exchanger.
Heat Pumps in the Summer
In summer cooling mode the indoor units heat exchanger is used to absorb heat energy from the indoor room air using refrigerant as the heat transfer medium cooling the room air.
The refrigerant is then sucked back to the outdoor unit through copper pipes and the heat energy is transferred into the outside air via the outdoor unit's heat exchanger.
