Getting Efficient Alternative Heating from AC

Quite a few people are fortunate enough to live in a place where it’s sunny and warm all year round. So, it is not asking too much that the air conditioning unit can keep you warm during the winter months if you have doled out hundreds on it to keep you comfortable during the summer months. As such, how does a device designed to extract hot air from a room also provide heat? Learn more here.

Heat Pump

Professionals at Dream Team Heating & Air, Denham Springs, use an air conditioner to create a soothing atmosphere by moving heat around. Technically, people can use any device to provide heating and cooling and at the same time as a heater. As such, they can use any pump as a heater.

How Does Air Conditioning Work?

It is essential to get around the ‘vapour-compression refrigeration cycle.’ The process works through a chemical refrigerant that carries heat from one part of the system to another and then releases it.

The initial stage is the chemical’s compression into a high pressure, intensely hot gas pumped into a long tube called a coil. The heat is extracted through a fan as the refrigerant flows through the coil – the gas changes to a liquid state after it has cooled down. Then passes into an expansion valve. With that, it lowers the pressure of the chemical before pumping it into the evaporator. It tends to be a complicated but efficient way of transferring heat from the inside to the outside.
