õhksoojuspump

Õhksoojuspump, also known as an air-source heat pump, is a device that transfers heat between the air outside and a building's interior. It operates on the principle of refrigeration, using a compressor to circulate a refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units. In heating mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors, while in cooling mode, it absorbs heat from indoors and releases it outside. Air-source heat pumps are highly efficient, as they can provide both heating and cooling, and they are environmentally friendly, as they use less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems. They are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings, and can be integrated with other HVAC systems for enhanced performance. The efficiency of an air-source heat pump is often measured by its coefficient of performance (COP), which is the ratio of heat output to electrical input. Modern air-source heat pumps can achieve COPs of 3 or higher, making them a popular choice for sustainable heating and cooling solutions.
