Heat Pump
ADVANTAGE: Heat pump models are available at a nominal additional cost. In many locales, the payback is realized in just a few months.
DISADVANTAGE: Open-loop systems require a large supply of clean water in order to be cost effective. This often limits their use to
coastal areas, and areas adjacent to lakes, rivers, streams, etc.
![Page 61: Casting (Part I)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54bcc5134a7959855a8b460b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Compressor/Condenser
The compressor/condenser unit is a basically a pump which moves refrigerant gas to the compressor via the larger refrigerant "suction line" returning it from the in-building air handler and evaporator coil.
![Page 62: Casting (Part I)](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54bcc5134a7959855a8b460b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Air handling unit
An air handler, is a device used to condition and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Usually, an air handler is a large metal box containing a blower, heating and/or cooling elements, filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators, and dampers. Air handlers usually connect to ductwork that distributes the conditioned air
through the building, and returns it to the AHU.
