How does a Heat Pump Hot Water System work?
Heat pumps operate through a continuous cycle that involves the evaporation, compression, condensation, and expansion of refrigerant. This process enables the heat pump to effectively transfer heat from the air to the water in the tank. The benefit of this process is that instead of directly generating heat a heat pump hot water system uses electricity to power the compressor and fans, resulting in higher energy efficiency compared to the traditional electric or gas systems. In a nutshell, heat pump hot water heaters work on the same principle as a refrigerator or air conditioner, only difference is it is in reverse. The energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable nature of the heat pump can be increased further if you have a solar power system installed in your home.
The Operational Principle of a Heat Pump Hot Water System:
- Evaporator - It all starts with the evaporator unit, generally located outside or in a well-ventilated area. This unit contains the ever-important refrigerant which is a liquid with properties that allow it to change from liquid to a gas at a low temperature.
- Heat absorption - Evaporator coils are exposed to the air and the fan helps draw in the air. As the refrigerant inside the evaporator coils is colder than the air, heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing it to evaporate and turn into a low-pressure gas.
- Compression - The now gaseous refrigerant is then compressed, and this, in turn, raises the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant.
- Condenser - Hot, high-pressure gas is passed through a condenser coil located inside the water tank or nearby. As the hot gas circulates through the coil it releases heat which is transferred to the water in the tank.
- Expansion Valve - After the heat has been transferred to the water, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and temperature preparing it to start the cycle again
- Repeating the cycle - The now low-pressure liquid refrigerant returns to the evaporator, where it can absorb more heat from the surrounding air, and the cycle repeats.
