Get a quoteThe difference in absorption heat pumps is that the evaporated ammonia pressure is not increased by a compressor. Instead, the ammonia is absorbed into water where a relatively low-power pump can then pump the solution to a higher pressure. The problem is then removing the ammonia from the water, and that''s where the heat source comes in.

Get a quoteHere''s a step-by-step process of how heat pumps work: Heat could be sourced from the air outside or warmth from the ground. This is blown or pumped over the heat exchange surface of the exterior part of the heat pump. This heat is warm enough to cause the refrigerant liquid in the heat pump to evaporate and turn into a gas.
