Page 8: Heat Pump Operation
1 Heat pump operation 1.1 How a heat pump works Occasionally, particularly in low ambient operating conditions there can be a build up of frost on the external heat exchanger. This causes a fall off in efficiency and has to be removed. This is achieved by the control operating the change over valve(1) causing it to move to the defrost position. -
