Reverse cycle air conditioning is a type of air conditioning system that can provide both heating and cooling solutions. It is also known as a "reversible heat pump" or "hot/cold reverse cycle air conditioning". The system works by reversing the refrigeration cycle so that it can heat in winter and cool in summer. The refrigerant is circulated in a loop, where there are two heat exchangers separated on one side by a compressor and on the other by a valve. The system absorbs warmth from the outside air, even in cold weather, and transfers it into the home to warm one or more rooms in heating mode. In cooling mode, it absorbs heat inside the home and expels it outside to cool the air. The main advantages of reverse cycle air conditioning are that it is efficient, adaptable, and flexible. It is also known to be more energy-efficient than traditional forms of heating. Reverse cycle air conditioning is an excellent choice for places with fluctuating temperatures and different seasons. It is also beneficial for people with allergies as it filters and dehumidifies surrounding air.
