Heat Pumps: Comfort and Savings for Your Home
In pursuit of a comfortable temperature in the house, we often resort to traditional heating methods: air conditioners, boilers, gas and electric boilers. However, their operation often comes with significant financial costs, especially during the winter period. Therefore, it is worth buying a heat pump. These devices offer an efficient and economical solution by using a free natural resource – the heat of the surrounding air.
Heat pumps are several times more efficient than traditional heat sources:
- 4 times more efficient than electric boilers
- 2 times more efficient than gas boilers
This means you can significantly reduce your heating costs. Moreover, heat pumps are environmentally friendly: all processes occur in a closed space inside the compressor.
Types of Construction
- Split system: Consists of two units: outdoor and indoor. The outdoor unit is installed outside the building, while the indoor unit is inside. Split systems are distinguished by low noise levels and versatility of use. Installation requires the involvement of specialists.
- Monoblock: A compact device installed inside the building. Monoblocks are noisier than split systems but can be installed on your own.
Operating Principles
There are two main mechanisms for the operation of heat pumps:
- "Air-water": The outdoor unit with a heat exchanger takes air from the street and transfers heat to the liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant turns into vapor, which moves to the indoor unit, where it is compressed and heated in the compressor. Then it gives heat to the water, after which it returns to a liquid state and is directed back to the outdoor unit.
- "Air-air": The refrigerant is compressed in the compressor and gives heat to the air in the room. The cycle continues until the desired temperature is reached.
How to Choose a Heat Pump
Consider:
- Noise level: For residential premises, it is recommended to choose quiet pumps with a noise level of no more than 60 dB.
- Insulation of the building: The better the building is insulated, the less powerful the pump you will need.
- Area of the premises: The larger the area, the higher the pump capacity should be.
- Additional functions: Some pumps can provide both heating and cooling of the premises.
