subject: Goodman Heat Pumps Result Of Experience And Extensive Labor [print this page] Goodman is a Leading manufacturer of Heat Pumps. Goodman has been manufacturing quality air conditioning and heating equipment since 1982. Given the company's decades of experience in the heating and cooling business, customers can be assured that Goodman brand air conditioning and Goodman heat pumps meet the highest industry standards and are installed by some of the best and most experienced professionals in the industry. But, most importantly let us understand what exactly heat pumps are.
Meaning of a Heat Pump:
Heat pumps are a closed thermodynamic system which contains three separate parts. The first stage is the evaporator. This section extracts heat from outside, even in cold weather. The liquid contained in the evaporator, known as the refrigerant, vaporises at extremely low temperatures. The vaporised liquid is then compressed in the second stage, the compressor. This increases the pressure and temperature of the vapour. From the compressor, the liquid enters the final stage, the liquefier. Here the energy is extracted from the vapour and radiated into the home. The condensed vapour now returns back to the first evaporator stage through an expansion valve and the cycle starts again.
A Goodman Heat Pump
Heat pumps can be an extremely efficient way of extracting heat from the outside air, even in freezing conditions. In summer they can even be run in reverse to operate as an air conditioning unit.
Let us now understand that what are Goodman Heat Pumps all about and how differently do they function from rest of the heat pumps available in the market. To begin with, Goodman is the second largest manufacturer of home heating systems in North America. The company is particularly famous for its line of Goodman Heat Pumps. The heat pumps manufactured by Goodman also function like other heat pumps as explained above.
However, what differentiates them is the fact that, many pumps in the Goodman Heat Pumps line are capable air conditioners too. They are not as efficient as dedicated air conditioning units but are effective non the less. These Goodman heat pumps are extremely popular in New Zealand and some areas of America which experience high summer temperatures and low winter temperatures. The pumps run on electricity and more advanced models also incorporate additional heat exchangers which can be placed in the roof cavity to recover escaping heat. Using a heat pump is much more environmentally sound that using traditional gas or oil powered heating systems. It is easier on the environment around you, as well as your pocket.
