● What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is a device that consumes work (or electricity) to transfer heat from a cold heat sink to a hot heat sink. Specifically, the heat pump transfers thermal energy using a refrigeration cycle, cooling the cool space and warming the warm space.n cold weather, a heat pump can move heat from the cool outdoors to warm a house (e.g. winter); the pump may also be designed to move heat from the house to the warmer outdoors in warm weather (e.g. summer). As they transfer heat rather than generating heat, they are more energy-efficient than other ways of heating or cooling a home.

● What are the components of an air source heat pump?

A heat pump has four key components:1: condenser, 2: expansion valve, 3: evaporator, 4: compressor, as shown below.

● How heat pump works?

Heat flows spontaneously from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Heat does not flow spontaneously from lower temperature to higher, but it can be made to flow in this direction if work is performed. The work required to transfer a given amount of heat is usually much less than the amount of heat; this is the motivation for using heat pumps in applications such as the heating of water and the interior of buildings. A gaseous refrigerant is compressed so its pressure and temperature rise. When operating as a heater in cold weather, the warmed gas flows to a heat ex-changer in the indoor space where some of its thermal energy is transferred to that indoor space, causing the gas to condense to its liquid state. The liquefied refrigerant flows to a heat ex-changer in the outdoor space where the pressure falls, the liquid evaporates and the temperature of the gas falls. It is now colder than the temperature of the outdoor space being used as a heat source. It can again take up energy from the heat source, be compressed and repeat the cycle.

● How long does the swimming pool heat pump need for initial heat up?

For initial heat up, typically 48-72 hours.

● Why does the air source heat pump get frosted?

The reason for frosting and condensation is that when wet air encounter a surface with lower temperature than its dew point temperature, water vapor will remove from wet air to the surface. Generally, when the environmental temperature drop below 5 ℃ and the evaporator's temperature is below 0℃, hydrophilic aluminium fins are prone to get condensation and even eventually frosted. In addition, there are other reasons, for example too much dirty things on fins such as dusts, slow or non fan rotate speed.
