    I Love the fact that a channel like this can even exist :) We live in great times
  • @fattony123082
    I’m 36 and have been an HVACR tech for 17 years now. Heat pumps have come a long way. I don’t care who says what they are very practical and efficient. Check out the Mitsubishi Hi-2 versions. They give you 100% heat capacity at 5 degrees Fahrenheit and 95% heat capacity at -15 degrees Fahrenheit!!! That’s insane.
  • @paulbrown1079
    Been a HVAC engineer for over 30 years was in hospital brushing up watching your video's you never stop learning and also you forget a lot of basics over the years brilliant videos . Are you putting together a book ?
  • These are by far the best and most clear videos that I have found. I use them in my Adult HVAC classes and they benefit my students greatly. Thanks for clear, concise, accurate, and sometimes amusing videos!
  • @jhaveman
    I've been looking for a simple explanation like this. The only way this could be better is if you showed an example of the physical devices for the indoor and outdoor units or parts. And thanks for the great video!
  • @Bolshevik337
    I’ve been checking out your videos for a while now as a student in the HVAC program at Kennedy-King College here in Chicago IL. HOW WONDERFUL !!! 😊👍🏾
  • @chrisclarke1458
    That’s a great video, I really like that you stop to point us in the direction of other videos that explain the various stages in more detail. Really brilliant stuff, thanks.
  • @JohnFekoloid
    I live in the tropics. Never heard of heat pumps. But imagined it to be a 'reverse' AC unit. Very helpful explanation. Thanks
  • @rgruenhaus
    I have a Carrier PURON heat pump system installed in 2007 and it is still working wonderful here in Pensacola FL with only a few breakdowns from minor parts from time to time!
  • @juanjerez9465
    Excellent explanation as always. Thank you 🙏🏽
  • @lesliechow6003
    This is by far the best video explaining and illustrating how heat pump works. Some other ones on here seem to assume you already have a master's degree in HVAC to understand them.
  • @alonbendov
    I smashed the subscribe button so hard after the first vid I saw. THANK YOU<3
  • @KaiserXionTV
    Those animations help so much. About to start our chapter on heat pumps in class today. This helps so so much!
  • @albmarku4379
    Great explanation! Great work! Thanks @The Engineering Mindset
  • @MukhtarLeker
    The best explanation I found so far, thank you. Will watch all of videos to understand the principle. I want to start this type of business in Kazakhstan in future, so just researching
  • @Mmoooossee
    I wish you did a video with graphics. Such as within the pipes. Show each process in detail as it passes each component. Essentially combining all your videos in one. No complaints here. Love your work. I’m just asking as I learn better with pictures and visualizations. One of the reasons I’m attracted to your channel. Thank you
  • @Dan-qt7kq
    I’ve been fascinated by this process because it’s in a closed loop, I know a high pressure side and low pressure side, but flipping them is brilliant.
  • @warn3535
    This is the best explanation on YouTube of how an air conditioner works. Kudos to you.
