    Reminder: Turn the volume down before you go on to the next video.
  • @Nepyragas
    the best and easiest explanation for HP, finally! :)
  • Thanks very much for taking time to explain this. I am an HVAC/R student and heat pumps have been the bane of my existence for six months now. Also, I recomend the reversing valve video for anyone else who is suffering through this.
  • @TvikrPritam
    I wish my college's teaching quality was at least a quarter of yours. Thank you anyway :)
  • I'm currently in HVAC class and we are on the subject of Heat Pumps. This was a very well done video and so helpful. The fact that you can see the flow through the reversing valve made it so much easier to understand how it works!! Thank you. I'll be sharing this with my instructor to share with the class.
  • @GETurn77
    Very good video and good to just listen to its audio again..very well explained. Good job
  • @noodlam
    Had mini-split system installed for my garage New England. Fantastic Summer & Winter! Very quiet and efficient. It's 12 degrees here now & this thing is quietly keeping the garage a steady temp.
  • I want to inform you that all of your videos are very informative and educational.thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️❤️❤️
  • Wow, I used to think heat pumps got energy from electricity, not the air. Motors are the only part of a heat pump that needs electrical energy? Neat how refrigerants are so easy to vaporize; the power of chemistry!
  • thanks very much for this video, had always been curious how the heating process works
  • @Anand-qb1wp
    There should be different keys for the four temperature/ pressure conditions.
  • It’s amazing how you explain the way it works . The boiling point I never new how or when it’s a good place for a heat pumps or a gas furnaces but seeing the boiling points now you could suggest the best thing for a costumer is .
  • @AntiTheBird
    I can't stop my brain from associating red with hot and blue with cold so the fact that the subcooling liquid is red makes this video really confusing for me. Could just be me though.
  • @darcy100190
    This was very helpful. Keep up the great work on air conditioning. Not many easy to understand useful UK tutorials online for this stuff.
  • @tllynchal
    Great selection of videos on heat pumps. Could you possibly make a videos explaining how a gas absorption heat pump works and is there a difference between a GAHP and a gas fired heat pump? Thanks.
  • @soondeng2000
    You are amazing! This is really easy to understand!
  • @tsegatenzin4166
    Thank you very much for your time and effort.your videos helping lots of people.keep it up.
