History and Development of Heat Pumps
The development of the heat pumps can be traced back to the mid 1800’s. In 1748 William Cullen demonstrated artificial refrigeration, 1834 Jacob Perkins built a practical refrigerator with diethyl ether, in 1852 Lord Kelvin describes the theory underlying the heat pump, and in 1857 Peter Ritter Von Rittinger developed and built the first heat [...]
Residential Gas Absorption Heat Pumps
The Gas Absorption heat Pump (GAHP) is a type of heat pump that is essentially an air source heat pump that functions with natural gas in lieu electricity. Gas or propane is much more cost efficient, therefore they are becoming very popular and this trend will continue as the cost of energy rises. Residential absorption [...]
Water Source Heat Pump Systems
A Water Source Heat Pump is a system that transfers the temperature from the ground to your home and provides energy for heating and cooling using stored solar energy from the ground. This is accomplished by using a system of vertical coils where space is limited to a depth of up to 150m; reducing the [...]
