Working of a heat pump thermostat
Working of the heat pump is quite simple it works as the transporter, based on the temperature it transports heat either inside or outside the room. Type of heat pumps may be different but all of them perform the same work i.e. to transfer the heat. In normal condition heat travels from high temperature to the low temperature, heat pump reverse this process by making use of the small amount of the energy.
Refrigerant a special liquid circulates between the indoor and the outdoor units. Compressor pressurizes this liquid and circulates it within the system. Most of the times heat is transported using the heating or the cooling system, air can be used to transfer the heat but it becomes impractical under many circumstances as large ducts are required to transfer relatively small amount of heat. So refrigerant can also be used to transfer the heat to a considerable distance.
Heat pump comprises of the two parts, One of them “Air handler” which is placed inside the house which looks like the gas furnace, while the other part which is placed outside the house contains the compressor and looks like the central air conditioner.
