How does a heat pump work?

A heat pump is a system for heating or cooling a space.

It is generally used for heating and cooling homes, offices and apartments. This device is also known as a heat pump and can be powered by electricity, natural gas or propane. At Kanartic, given that Canada offers renewable electrical energy, we have opted for electricity.

The basic principle of a heat pump is very simple. It works by transferring heat from one place to another .

For example, when you use a heat pump to heat your home, it transfers heat from outdoors to indoors. It works by pumping air, heating it and transferring it indoors using a refrigerant liquid, which helps maintain a comfortable temperature. The same thing applies when you use a heat pump to cool your home. The compressor cools the refrigerant using outside air and transfers it inside to be blown.

A heat pump is made up of several components, including a compressor, evaporators and condensers.

The compressor is responsible for the compression and expansion of air. Evaporators and condensers are responsible for exchanging heat between outdoor air and indoor air.

When the compressor works, it compresses the air and heats it. This heating is then transferred by the evaporators to the indoor air, which warms it. When the indoor air is cooled, the condenser transfers heat from the indoor air to the outdoor air, which cools it. A heat pump can be used to heat and cool a space.

In conclusion

Some heat pumps like those from Kanartic are equipped with a warm air heating system, which is generally more efficient than other heating systems. Heat pumps can also be used to cool a space by cooling the air. They are generally used in areas where air conditioning is not necessary. A heat pump is very efficient and can be used to heat and cool a space at a relatively low cost. However, it is important to note that they are not suitable for all types of climates, not all heat pumps can work in very cold climates... Those from Kanartic YES
