Cooling your house with heat pumps
A Danfoss heat pump can provide a complete solution for a perfect indoor climate all year round. During the cold months, the system economically produces the heat required for the building and when it is hot outside, comfortable cooling can be provided. With all heat pump's, except air source heat pumps at this present time, it is possible to cool the building with passive cooling at a very low cost as passive cooling requires no more energy than a pair of light bulbs. Should passive cooling not be sufficient then Danfoss heat pumps are able to produce extra, active cooling by using the compressor, which can be more efficient than other systems on the market which use separate cooling units.
Passive cooling
In our modern well insulated buildings of today the summer months can become very uncomfortable, whilst air conditioning can offer a solution to this heat pumps are able to offer a far more cost effective, clean and renewable energy option to solving this problem. By circulating the liquid in the ground loop, passive cooling is created at a cost equivalent to the energy consumption of a couple of light bulbs. This method of passive cooling can be used with all Danfoss heat pump's, except for air source heat pumps and requires the addition of an extra accessory to the system of a passive cooling module.
Active cooling
For most applications passive cooling is normally sufficient, however should extra cooling be required it can be actively produced by using the compressor within the heat pump, although not a cost effective as passive cooling this method will produce cooling much more efficiently than traditional air conditioning systems. For a system to produce active cooling it will require an extra accessory in the form of a cooling module (passive/active).
