Many air conditioners give more heating/cooling power than they consume. How did they do that? I know this is equivalent power but still it is way more than consumed.
i think of you're speaking approximately 2 assorted issues. once you communicate approximately kw you're probable observing the score on the warmth kit (auxiliary warmth). once you're discussing horse potential you're probable speaking approximately compressor skill HP could desire to be switched over into BTUH then you definately could be speaking of tonnage 1200 btu = a million ton
>How air conditioner makes 2.5 kw heating energy while it only consumes 0.7 kw power? It doesn't make 2.5 kW of heating, it just moves that much heat from one place to another. That's why they are called heat pumps. It's also why there is always both a hot cold side. For example an A/C pumps heat from inside to outside, so the condenser on the outside is hot. If you use the heat pump as a heater, the outside heat exchanger is cold because it is extracting heat from the outside and pumping into the inside. >I know this is equivalent power No. It is real thermal energy. When used as a heater, the 2.5 kW of heat is just as real as if you had used a 2.5 kW electrical resistance heater. The difference is that the resistance heater needs 2.5 kW of electricity to produce 2.5 kW of heat because it just directly converts the electricity to heat. A heat pump using a lot less electricity (if it's not too cold outside) to pump heat from one place to another.
It doesn't make heat, it moves heat, it's a heat pump, the 0.7 kw only moves heat.
