Abstract
Systems and methods for heating and humidifying an interior space using a heat pump are provided. The heat pump may be a window unit and may include a catch for collecting condensation forming on heat exchanger coils positioned in an exterior environment. Using a humidification system, the condensation may be directed via a toward and distributed on (e.g., via dripping and/or spraying) an exterior of heat exchanger coils positioned in an interior environment. A heating channel may be designed to circulate heated fluid (e.g., heated refrigerant) near or around the humidification system to maintain the fluid in a liquid state. The humidification system may include one or more filters and/or chemical agents for removing impurities in the condensation. The heat pump with the humidification system may simultaneously heat and humidify an interior space.
