All air conditioners are basically heat pumps.
They move, or “pump,” heat from inside a room
to the outdoors. A heat pump air conditioner
adds a component called a “reversing valve.” It
allows heat to be transferred from the outdoors
into the room. When the reversing valve is not
energized, the system operates in the cooling
mode.
When the reversing valve is energized, the
normal direction of refrigerant flow is diverted
at the valve. The outdoor coil now becomes the
low-pressure side of the system, and the inside
coil becomes the high-pressure side. The flow
of all refrigerant past the reversing valve
changes direction, and now brings heat into the
room from the outdoors.
