How Air Source Heat Pumps work?
Air source heat pumps are similar
in principle to a refrigerator but instead of cooling they take heat from
the air and convert it into usable heat.
A heat pump usually has four
main components, an evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion valve.
An air source heat pump works
by taking air from outside which is drawn over the evaporator. The refrigerant
soaks up heat from the air and converts it from a liquid to a vapour. The
refrigerant is sent through a compressor, which pressurises and as a result
pushes up the temperature of the vapour. This can now provide a temperature
we can use in domestic heating. The higher temperature refrigerant then goes
to the condenser heat exchanger, moving heat to the heating system. The refrigerant
returns to liquid now that the heat is removed. The liquid refrigerant then
returns to its original state as it passes through the expansion valve.

Renewable Heat Incentive
Anyone interested in Air Source Pumps will be interested in learning more about the Government's RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive). Coming into force in October 2012, RHI aims to promote the use of such technologies with financial rewards. The following extract from the DECC website represents the current status. This obviously may be liable to change.
RHI premium payment: households
RHI tariff payments will start for homes alongside the Green Deal from 2012 to allow a more whole-house approach to heat production and energy saving.
In the meantime, up to 25,000 installations from July will be supported by a "RHI Premium Payment" to help people cover the purchase price of green heating systems. Those taking up the Premium will then be eligible for a RHI tariff from October next year when the Green Deal begins, as will anyone else who has had eligible equipment installed from July 2009.
For new build homes, an RHI tariff will be considered for the 2012 phase
The "RHI Premium Payment" will be worth around £15m and will ensure there is a fair spread of technologies across all regions of Great Britain. The installed technologies will be monitored to enable government, manufacturers, installers and consumers to better understand how to make sure householders get the most out of them.
There will be clear eligibility criteria in order to qualify for a Premium payment, including:
a well insulated home based on its energy performance certificate;
agreeing to give feedback on how the equipment performs
A key focus of this initial phase will be on people living off the gas grid, where fossil fuels like heating oil are both more expensive and have a higher carbon content.
We plan to publish details of the "RHI Premium Payment" and how this will apply in May this year. We will consult on the RHI tariffs that will apply from October 2012 later in the year.
The exact workings of the RHI is still being formed, we therefore urge you to visit the following websites for the latest information:
