| Energy Saving Heat Pump |
| Heat Pump is a device transfusing
the low temperature from a heat source to another to
warm up until it reaches the desired high temperature
(Heat Sink) by using the same device as in an air conditioner
but the heat coming out of the machine can be used to
make hot water or air while the cool air can be used
together with the A/Cs process or can be combined with
fresh air in a cooler. The Heat Pump functions by releasing
the heat to the surrounding air or water making it warmer
then transmit it to release the heat once again to the
air or water where you desire. The temperature is not
very high (< 65C) depending on the type of refrigerant
(R22, R134a, R407c) Besides making the hot water, Hot
Pump can make the hot air for drying purpose or to warm
up the air inside the building. |

| Advantages of Absolute Heat Pump |
- It saves the energy in making hot water and able
to heat the water in same amount as an electric heater
but consumes the electric power 3-4 times less (depending
on the design) because it exchanging the heat of
the refrigerant in the gas form making the water
hot which is different from an electric heater which
directly changes the electric power to the heat.

** The graph showing the expenses in making hot water
from different ways by setting the average cost of
the bunker oil at 16 Baht per liter with the capability
of 79%, diesel at 29 Baht per liter with capability
of 89%, LPG gas at 16.8 Baht per kilogram with the
capability of 85%, electricity bill at 2.80 Baht
per unit.

- It is a clean energy because it is a standard Heat
Pump using R134a refrigerant which is the tomorrows
refrigerant and does not pollute the environment
unlike CFC which causes pollution and makes the world
warmer. Besides, R134a still has high heat rate which
is suitable for making hot water.
- It has cool air as the by-product from exchanging
of the heat between the refrigerant in the gas
form to the water resulting in getting the cool
air as the by-product when the refrigerant exchanges
the heat with the air in the liquid form. The
cool air received from this process can be used
with the air conditioner in a workshop or a common
room for free.
- It is safe and free from electric short. No
worries about electric short while using the
hot water because the hot water is from the central
system not directly from any electric appliances.

| How does the Heat Pump work? |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
Heat Pump uses a device functioning
the same way with other air conditioning system which
has 4 main parts of the heat pump including Compressor,
Condenser, Expansion Valve, and Evaporator.
The Heat Pumps functions by exchanging the heat of the
refrigerant with the mediumwater and air just like in
the air conditioning system. When the refrigerant absorbs
the heat from the air, it will evaporate in the Evaporator.
Then the refrigerant will move to the Compressor where
it will be compressed to have high temperature and pressure.
After that, the refrigerant will flow to the the Condenser
to release the heat to the water. Once it loses its heat,
the refrigerant will condense into a liquid form and
flows into the Expansion Valve. There, it will decrease
the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. The
refrigerant which has been through the expansion Valve
will be in the form of liquid compound which will later
go to absorb the heat the Evaporator. The Heat Pumps
process will keep on functioning in a circle like this
until it obtains the hot water as desired. |
