2. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   Propane may be the most suitable for high temperature heat pumps. [73] Ammonia (R717) and carbon dioxide also have a low GWP. As of 2023 smaller CO 2 heat pumps are not widely available and research and development of them continues. [74] A 2024 report said that refrigerants with GWP are vulnerable to further international restrictions. [75]

   For ductless heat pumps, the most popular in Minneapolis, it's $6,000 to $7,000 per house zone, while forced air heat pumps cost between $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the model. A traditional ...

4. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

   Less work is required to move heat than for conversion into heat, and because of this, heat pumps, air conditioners and refrigeration systems can have a coefficient of performance greater than one. The COP is highly dependent on operating conditions, especially absolute temperature and relative temperature between sink and system, and is often ...

5. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

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

   A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2] Thus a heat pump may be thought of as a "heater" if the objective is to warm the heat sink (as when warming the inside of a home on a cold day), or a ...

6. Air source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_source_heat_pump

   The heat pump's performance is limited by the Carnot cycle and will approach 1.0 as the outdoor-to-indoor temperature difference increases, which for most air source heat pumps happens as outdoor temperatures approach −18 °C (0 °F).

7. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

   The role of a heat exchanger is to transfer heat between two mediums, so the performance of the heat exchanger is closely related to energy or thermal efficiency. [11] A counter flow heat exchanger is the most efficient type of heat exchanger in transferring heat energy from one circuit to the other [citation needed].
