The
Heat
Pump operates on a very simple principle
During the cooling cycle, the unit absorbs heat from
the air inside your home and transfern that heat In the
outside. During the healing cycle, the unit absorbs hrat
from the outside air and transfers that heat into your

eirmbates refrigerant
through the mgs,
Inside Air Coil All inside air in your +me is circu-
Inted through this coil.
It
absorbs heat \from> the air
when coaling or releases heat into the air when heating
Outside Air Coil n i s coil has ouhide

air flowing
through
it.
Outside air d w s not e n k r into your home
The p u r w e of this coil is to release heat absorkb
by
the
imide
coif into the outdwr air when cmling or,
absorb heat from the outdmr air when heating
When your Heat Pump
is
owrating in the
emXing
cycle it mrnoves heat and moisture from the air inside
your home. The inside coil is cooled by the evamriza-
tion of liquid refrigerant, therefore, the air pasing over
it
i s
caoled and dehumidified. As the air
is
emled, it
gives up same of
its
heat lo the coil

Tk
mfrigerant, in turn, absorbs the coil heat which is
then purnpd to the aubide

This
is cntircly normal How-

The defrost cycle lasts
cmly a. few
minutes.
The
time of this
cycle depenrls on
the
remprature arnd the

content
of
the irutsirle air. Dririing the defrost cycle,
ills outside

However, the rnside
blower motor will continue to circulate air across the
insrdc

During the defrost cycle the normal
