Air Source Heat Pumps

Unlike Ground Source Heat Pumps, Air Source Heat Pumps convert energy from the air and increase it to a higher temperature, using a process which is very much like a reversal refrigeration effect. For business units and larger areas including schools, hospitals and commercial buildings a set of air source heat pumps (air heat pumps) may be required along with a heat pump and hot water tank for ongoing water usage. These types of systems have no external pipes and most of the components reside as a unit just outside and within the building normally inside a small room (utility).

The air handling unit draws air across a water-anti freeze type solution which transfers energy into the refrigerant. When the refrigerant boils, the gases from reaction are compressed to produce temperatures in excess of 100°C. This is when the process is similar to a ground source heat pump.

Air source heat pumps can be used in many more applications including very large commercial projects where land space is restricted and also be utilised in conjunction with other emerging eco technologies such as underfloor heating, solar panels and wind turbines.

Air Source Heat Pumps can also be used as a complete stand alone solution for room heating using the same distribution system as a ground source heat pump or a traditional system when implemented in a purpose built new build designed with this technology in mind. Air Source Heat Pumps are perfect for tight spaces and within an eco architectural design. Grants may be available with further information being found on our grants page.
