Bombas de Calor

“Bombas de Calor” translates to “Heat Pumps” in English. A heat pump is a mechanical device that transfers thermal energy from one place to another. It can be used for both heating and cooling spaces by moving heat against its natural direction of flow—essentially extracting heat from a cooler area and transferring it to a warmer area, or vice versa.

In heating mode, the heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air, ground, or water and transfers it indoors. In cooling mode, it removes heat from the indoor air and releases it outside. Heat pumps are often more energy-efficient compared to traditional heating and cooling systems as they use electricity to convey heat rather than generate it through combustion.

Heat pumps can be categorized into different types, including air-source, ground-source (geothermal), and water-source, depending on the medium from which they source or discharge heat. They are increasingly used in residential and commercial applications for their efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and ability to provide space heating and cooling with a single system.
