Thoughts on Compressors for Heat Pump Applications
30 March 2009
With the current discussion on climate changes, heat pumps have moved into focus, so many people in the process of building homes decide to use heat pumps for heating purposes and/or for hot water supply.
Ongoing discussions concerning the usage and the prices of fossil fuels have pushed the usage of heat pumps for existing buildings as well.
Heat sources for heat pump applications are primarily the air and the ground (often via brine systems). Depending on the heat source and the heating system in the building (e.g. floor heating or radiators), the consequences will be different operating conditions for the heat pumps.
