Heat pumps are considered highly energy-efficient heating systems because they derive most of their heat energy from natural or renewable sources. They extract heat from ambient air, groundwater, or the earth, which can then be used to heat buildings or generate hot water. In many new constructions, these energy-efficient heating and cooling systems are now standard.
Heat pumps typically consist of a condenser, a compressor, an evaporator, and an expansion valve. Their operation is similar to that of a refrigerator. Heat energy is absorbed, compressed, and released via a refrigerant cycle. The system requires relatively little electricity to operate the pump. The more electricity comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, the more environmentally friendly the heat pump becomes. As a result, heat pumps significantly contribute to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
The use of heat pumps, especially in heating systems of large building complexes, can be controlled predictively with the help of AI and the aedifion cloud platform.With aedifion.dynamics, energy systems such as photovoltaic installations, heat pumps, and battery storage are interconnected into a holistic system and activated precisely when electricity prices are low.
