If you're looking for an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to heat your home or business, an air to water split heat pump might be the perfect solution. This type of heating system works by extracting heat from the air outside your building and using it to warm water, which is then circulated through radiators or underfloor heating. In this article, we'll explain how an air to water split heat pump works in more detail.

Split System Components.

The first thing you need to know is that an air to water split heat pump is made up of two main components: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit contains a fan, a heat exchanger, and a compressor, while the indoor unit contains the hot water tank, pumps, and controls.

The Process.

The process starts with the outdoor unit, which pulls in air from the surrounding environment. The air passes over the heat exchanger, which contains a refrigerant gas that absorbs the heat from the air. As the refrigerant gas heats up, it turns into a gas and is compressed by the compressor, which raises the temperature even further.

The compressed gas then passes through a series of coils in the indoor unit, where it releases its heat into the water that is circulating through the system. The hot water is then distributed to where you need it, such as your radiators or underfloor heating. As the refrigerant gas cools down, it turns back into a liquid and returns to the outdoor unit to start the process all over again.

Energy Efficiency.

One of the biggest benefits of an air to water split heat pump is its energy efficiency. Because it's extracting heat from the air outside, the system requires very little energy to operate. This means you can save a lot of money on your energy bills compared to using electric heating or gas heating.

Another advantage is that an air to water split heat pump can also work in reverse, meaning it can be used as an air conditioner in the summer months. This makes it a versatile heating and cooling solution that can be used all year round.
