Heat Pump -> Main Features
 
 

The most popular Heat Pumps share these key features:

  1. Two-Speed Compressor :allows a heat pump to operate at a higher or lower level based on its current heating/cooling task. Two-speed compressor systems save electrical energy and save wear and tear on the system.
  2. Dual-Speed Motor: A two speed motor on the fan that circulates air outdoors or through the house. Dual-speed motors save energy, help eliminate hot and cold spots, and are quieter because the fan is not always running at the highest setting.
  3. Variable-Speed Motor: The latest development is that fan motors do not just have one or two speeds, but are adjustable across a wide range of speeds which deliver warmth or coolness. Variable-speed motors are more responsive to the heating and cooling requirements of your home.
  4. Desuperheater: This feature diverts waste heat from the pump's cooling operation and uses it to the water stored in the water heater.
  5. Scroll Compressor: This new feature helps to compress the refrigerant in the system. The result is more efficient functioning, energy savings, less wear and tear, and quieter operation.
