Page 9
GREE AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER SERVICE MANUAL 5.2 Working Diagram 5.2.1 Working Diagram The compressor consumes partial electrical energy to compress the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas. After entering the condenser (the water tank coil of a water heater in static heat up mode), the gaseous refrigerant transfers its heat to water as its saturation temperature is higher than the water temperature and leaves the condenser after condensing into liquid.
The low-pressure gas is inhaled by the compressor for the next cycle. 6 Optional Accessories The Gree air source water heater unit supports the following accessories: Item Model Remark...
