Heat Pumps Comparable to the principle of a refrigerator, the heat pump function is simplicity itself: It withdraws latent energy from air, water or ground and transfers it to the heating system. This free envirnmental energy is initially routed to the heat exchanger (evaporator) of the heat pump. The evaporator contains the liquid refrigerant (process medium), which absorbs the heat from the energy source and, in the process, evaporates. The compressor pulls the gaseous process medium inside where it is compressed. As pressure rises, the temperature increases. A second heat exchanger (condenser) the ensures that the heat is transfered to the heating circuit. the expansion valve finally provides the pressure reduction, and the cycle starts again.
That's how free energy from the environment is converted into useful heat.

Fossil Fuels
Time for contemplation: It seems that we have forgotten how to handle the treasures of this world with care. We are only stewards or guardians of the world for future generations.
Reduce emissions, protect resources: The combustion of fossil fuels such as natural gas or fuel oil produce emissions, amongst them, carbon dioxide, which is partially responsible for environmental damage. The substantial increase in other combustion residues also gives rise to concern, as the global warming it causes disturbs the sensitive climate balance.
Heat pump technology makes an important contribution to environmental protection. |
