Heat pumps
Heat pumps are a key technology for the heating transition. They offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional heating systems. Heat pumps use the heat stored in the environment and convert it into heating energy.
How do heat pumps work?
Heat pumps work like an inverted refrigerator. They extract heat from the environment (air, water or ground) and increase its temperature. This makes the heat usable for heating purposes. A small amount of electrical energy powers the pump.
Advantages of heat pumps
- They use renewable energies and reduce CO2 emissions.
- They heat with heat pumps that supply up to four times more energy than they consume.
- You can use heat pumps for both heating and cooling buildings.
Possible applications in Wiesbaden
In Wiesbaden, heat pumps are particularly suitable in areas where district heating is not available. Combined with hybrid heating systems, they can provide an efficient and sustainable heat supply.
Heat pumps are a future-proof solution for climate-friendly heat. They play an important role in achieving climate protection targets.
