Commercial Heat Pump

Commercial Heat Pump

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy from a source of heat to what is called a heat sink. Heat pumps move thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer, by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one. A heat pump uses a small amount of external power to accomplish the work of transferring energy from the heat source to the heat sink. The most common design of a heat pump involves four main components – a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator and a compressor. The heat transfer medium circulated through these components is called refrigerant.

A Commercial Heat Pump is a high-capacity heating and cooling system designed for large buildings or facilities like offices, hotels, schools, shopping centers, hospitals, or industrial sites. It operates on the same basic principle as residential heat pumps—moving heat instead of generating it—but at a much larger and more efficient scale.
