How a Heat Pump
Works
![Page 4: Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Environmentmickpeterson.org/Classes/Design/2010_11/Groups/...Assumptions Oil burner at home is 80% efficient Power plant is 30% efficient Use a Heat](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051606/60181c284a311b016d5428c3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Energy Overview
Energy comes from many places:
- burning oil, flowing water, etc
Energy exists in many forms:
- heat, electricity, etc
Energy can be converted from one form to
another:
- electricity is used to produce heat, etc
![Page 5: Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Environmentmickpeterson.org/Classes/Design/2010_11/Groups/...Assumptions Oil burner at home is 80% efficient Power plant is 30% efficient Use a Heat](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051606/60181c284a311b016d5428c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Units
Watt = Basic unit of power (electricity)
Example: 60 watt light bulb uses 60 watts
Kilowatt = 1000 watts
KWh = # of kilowatts used over an hour
![Page 6: Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Environmentmickpeterson.org/Classes/Design/2010_11/Groups/...Assumptions Oil burner at home is 80% efficient Power plant is 30% efficient Use a Heat](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051606/60181c284a311b016d5428c3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Examples
One 60 watt light bulb uses 0.06 KW and
uses 0.06 KWh after 1 hour.
Two 60 watt light bulbs left on for one hour
use 0.12 KWh.
One 60 watt light bulb left on for 2 hours
uses 0.12 KWh.

Another Unit
Btu = Basic energy unit (heat)
1 KWh = 3413 Btu’s

Heat Pumps are more efficient
since you get more energy out than
you put in.

1. Absorb heat in refrigerant.
2. Pump refrigerant inside house.
3. Eject heat from refrigerant.

How does a Heat Pump do it?
We must understand the Ideal Gas Law.
PV = nRT
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = # of particles of gas
T = Temperature
R is a constant
![Page 15: Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Environmentmickpeterson.org/Classes/Design/2010_11/Groups/...Assumptions Oil burner at home is 80% efficient Power plant is 30% efficient Use a Heat](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051606/60181c284a311b016d5428c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PV = nRT
As pressure goes up,
temperature goes up.

Installing a Heat Pump:
How much money is saved?

Heating
Wherever they come from, you need Btu’s
to heat your home.
When it is colder, you need more Btu’s to
heat your home.
Heat pumps: more efficient when it’s
warmer out.
Oil Burners: more efficient when it’s
colder out.
