What are Heat Pumps?

Heat pumps works like your domestic refrigerator but produces a reverse effect. The refrigerant in the heat exchanger absorbs heat from the outside air and evaporates creating a vapour. The vapour is then compressed, thereby increasing pressure and vapor temperature until it reaches high temperature. The hot vapour is then condensed in a 2nd heat exchanger where heat is rejected, which feeds into the central heating and hot water system. The liquid refrigerant passes back through an expansion valve, to start the cycle again.
