An air source heat pump is a device that can heat your home by drawing from the outside air. The most often used type of heat pump installed in the UK.
An air source heat pump (ASHP) transfers heat between the outside and inside of a building to provide heating or cooling. It’s a form of renewable heating that takes cold from the air and operates the exact same way as a refrigerator, which is by the use of refrigeration.
A refrigerant circulating through the expansion device is converted to a low-pressure liquid/vapor mixture.
The refrigerant travels to the outdoor coil, which extracts heat from the air and evaporates into a low-temperature vapor.
The vapor goes to the compressor, which returns it to ambient pressure and temperature.
The hot gas passes inside the indoor coil, transferring heat to the air.
The refrigerant liquefies again and returns to the expansion device to repeat the cycle.
