How Does Heat Pump Hot Water Work?
A heat pump hot water system comes in two different types split and integrated where the integrated system is all one unit and a split unit is a tank with a separate compressor. Both of these systems work the same with the only difference being their weight and footprint. So how do they work? A heat pump water heater operation can be broken down into 4 steps.
- Heat Extraction: in this step, a fan will draw in ambient air from around the unit this air is then blown over an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil draws the heat out of the ambient air and uses it to heat refrigerant gas.
- Compression and Superheating: the hot refrigerant gas from the evaporator coil is then compressed increasing the pressure and superheating the refrigerant gas.
- Heat Transfer: the superheated refrigerant is then used to heat the water in the storage tank as the refrigerant cools it will return to a liquid.
- Expansion and Cooling: the pressure is then greatly reduced in the refrigerant supercooling it this better allows it to draw heat out of the ambient air. This super-cooled low-pressure refrigerant is then pumped back through the evaporation coil and the process is started again.
As a heat pump uses ambient heat to heat the water it can greatly reduce its energy needs to function as it only needs to run a compressor and fan to blow air over the evaporator coil.
