Air-Source Heat Pumps Driving Energy Efficiency in HVAC Systems
By Arrow Electronics
This white paper provides a comprehensive overview of air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) and their role in driving energy efficiency in modern HVAC systems. It explains how ASHPs operate using vapor-compression technology to deliver both heating and cooling, outlines the full system architecture (including power management, sensing, motor control, connectivity, and user interface blocks), and details the key electronic components required for implementation FINAL App Brief Arrow - Heat Pu…. The paper also highlights regulatory changes such as the AIM Act transition to low-GWP refrigerants and their impact on system design, safety, and controls, positioning heat pumps as a central technology in sustainable, next-generation building solutions
