Heat Pumps For Cold Climates

Are you looking for a highly advanced and affordable heat pump for hot water available on the market? If yes, then you should look no further than Arctic Series Cold Climate Heat Pump. This system is capable of heating your home, office, shop and pool or hot tub. It features the industry-standard EVI – Enhanced Vapor Injection compressors with DC variable speed input. This heat pump continues providing enormous efficiency in weather as low as -30C (-22F). 

Take a look at the reasons why investing in this heat pump is significant for producing hot water:

Using energy from cold air –

Arctic Cold Climate Heat Pump is specifically designed to operate at a temperature below freezing i.e. -25C (-15F). The air below freezing has the nearly same amount of relative energy likewise above freezing. The cold air has an energy that makes this heat pump work in cold weather. 

Warm air moves to cold –

This principle is used in a heat pump. Warm air contains more energy and more numbers of molecules collide as compared to cold air. So, it will migrate to cold air naturally until the equilibrium condition is established. Hence, the Arctic heat pump uses a colder liquid-like Freon which doesn’t freeze until -50. The pump can create warmer -25C air to transfer its energy to the colder Freon present inside the heat pump. 

Pressure determines the boiling point –

Different substances have different boiling points which can be changed by adding or removing pressure. Water boils at 100C at 14.69 PSI (sea level). With minimizing pressure, water boils much faster. The refrigeration cycle uses Freon which transitions from liquid to gas state at a much lower temperature as compared to water. By adjusting the pressure of Freon, the system can be manipulated when the phase changes. 

Arctic heat pumps use a refrigerant R410a which is perfect for energy storage during cold weather. The refrigerant temperature can be made to boil at as cold as -50C by minimizing the pressure inside the heat pump. The cold -50C Freon passes through the heat exchanger and the warmer energy from the outside air moves to the colder Freon across the heat exchanger. 

This results in Freon absorbing energy. As soon as heating up, Freon starts evaporating and turns into a gas state. The Freon goes to the compressor when it’s a compressor and results in increasing temperature as its volume decreases. After that, the hot gas gets transferred over another heat exchanger in which the other side is colder water or glycol. The energy transitions from hot to cold and starts heating water or glycol loop in the home. The refrigerant loses heat energy, making it cool to go back to the liquid state to start the cycle again. This is the basic principle of the refrigeration cycle. If you understand them, you can get to know how a heat pump works even it’s -25C outside.
