Explaining the Differences Between Inverter and Non-Inverter Heat Pumps

What Is The Difference Between Inverter and Non-Inverter Heat Pump? Heat pumps are an energy-efficient solution for heating and cooling homes. ‘Inverter’ and ‘non-inverter’ heat pumps refer to the type of compressor used in the heat pump which can significantly impact performance and energy efficiency. Let’s explore the difference between inverter and non-inverter heat pumps to help you make an informed decision. Inverter Heat Pumps An inverter heat pump utilises a variable-speed compressor. This compressor adjusts its speed based on the heating or cooling demands of the space. Instead of turning on and off, the compressor adjusts its output to match the required load. This continuous adjustment allows the inverter … Read More

6 Advantages of Carbon Dioxide as a Refrigerant

Trans-critical CO2 installations In the quest for more environmentally friendly commercial refrigerants, carbon dioxide (CO2) has emerged as a promising solution. While commonly known as a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change, CO2 has gained attention for its unique properties that make it an efficient and sustainable refrigerant. We will explore the advantages of CO2 as a refrigerant.   Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) One of the most significant advantages of CO2 as a refrigerant is its low Global Warming Potential. Unlike traditional refrigerants such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons which have high GWPs, CO2 has a significantly lower GWP. This means that it has a minimal impact on global warming … Read More
