  2. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [1] [2] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs. The COP is used in thermodynamics.

  3. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

    The merit of a refrigerator or heat pump is given by a parameter called the coefficient of performance (COP). The equation is: = | |, where is the useful heat given off or taken up by the considered system., is the net work done on the considered system in one cycle. The detailed COP of a refrigerator is given by the following equation:

  4. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    For a heat engine, thermal efficiency is the ratio of the net work output to the heat input; in the case of a heat pump, thermal efficiency (known as the coefficient of performance or COP) is the ratio of net heat output (for heating), or the net heat removed (for cooling) to the energy input (external work). The efficiency of a heat engine is ...

  5. Refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

    A refrigeration system's coefficient of performance (CoP) is very important in determining a system's overall efficiency. It is defined as refrigeration capacity in kW divided by the energy input in kW. While CoP is a very simple measure of performance, it is typically not used for industrial refrigeration in North America.

  6. Carnot's theorem (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot's_theorem...

    It may seem odd that a hypothetical reversible heat pump with a low efficiency is used to violate the second law of thermodynamics, but the figure of merit for refrigerator units is not the efficiency, /, but the coefficient of performance (COP), [2] which is / where this has the sign opposite to the above (+ for work done to the engine).

  8. Quantum heat engines and refrigerators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_heat_engines_and...

    In this regime the quantum feature of coherence degrades the performance. Optimal frictionless performance is obtained when the coherence can be cancelled. The shortest cycle times /, sometimes termed sudden cycles, [20] have universal features. In this case coherence contributes to the cycles power.
