Hello,

Firstly i would like to say that i am not a refrigeration engineer, and that I only understanding the basic principles of refrigeration, so please be kind with your comments. I appreciate this may be in the wrong area of the forums, or should not be here all together, but i would like to know if possible...

Could you use a refrigeration loop to be used as a forced are heater?

For example, i would like to have a compressor with the inlet open to atmosphere, this may require a pump? Instead of cooling the condenser, I would like to apply a gentle heat while hoping to reach 3-4Bar pressure and maintaining an ambient temperature or higher. I would then look to apply 1000W for example onto the evaporator so that as the pressurized air expands, it draws the heat out before using the suction line as an exhaust giving me a nice warming flow of air.

Thank you in advance for your comments.
