Modern heat pump technology allows us to tap into the energy reserves of the environment whether they be stored in the air or in the ground. A heat pump is an intelligent, environmentally-friendly and very cost-effective tool for heating the modern single-family, semi-detached or even multiple-family household.

The heat pump allows you to be environmental-friendly while not having to compromise on domestic heating comfort.

 

How does a heat pump work?

Evaporation, compression, liquefaction and decompression: those are the elemental four steps of the cycle used in any heat pump. A refrigerant with an extremely low boiling point (depending on the refrigerant to -50 °C or even lower) circulates during this process through the cycle.

The evaporator draws warmth from the environment – fluid evaporates and is converted into a gaseous state. The steam is then compressed by a compressor, which increases the temperature-level so that warmth can be delivered to the condenser and ultimately to your home. The hot gas then cools down and liquifies again. This is then decompressed by a valve so that the refrigerant can draw the warmth from the environment again and so the process recommences.
