2. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

   The heat pump itself can be improved by increasing the size of the internal heat exchangers, which in turn increases the efficiency (and the cost) relative to the power of the compressor, and also by reducing the system's internal temperature gap over the compressor. Obviously, this latter measure makes some heat pumps unsuitable to produce ...

3. Scroll compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_compressor

   A scroll compressor (also called spiral compressor, scroll pump and scroll vacuum pump) is a device for compressing air or refrigerant. [1] It is used in air conditioning equipment, as an automobile supercharger (where it is known as a scroll-type supercharger ) and as a vacuum pump .

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheem_Manufacturing_Company

   Rheem was the first residential HVAC company to begin using scroll compressors throughout their lineup in 1994, and air conditioners and heat pumps continue to use Copeland Scroll Compressors. [20] The company was also first to introduce a 14 SEER remote condensing unit in 1997.

5. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   An international milestone is the heat pump built by Escher Wyss in 1937/38 to replace the wood stoves in the City Hall of Zurich. To avoid noise and vibrations, a recently developed rotary piston compressor was used. This historic heat pump heated the town hall for 63 years until 2001. Only then was it replaced by a new, more efficient heat ...

6. Crankcase heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_heater

   A crankcase heater is an electrical component in a compressor in an air-conditioning system, heat pump system, or chiller system. The crankcase heater is normally on all the time, even when the unit is not running, though temperature sensors and set points may turn it off when not needed.

7. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   The built-in oil pump is connected to the same shaft that drives the compressor, and forces oil into the compressor and motor bearings. At low speeds, insufficient quantities of oil reach the bearings, eventually leading to bearing failure, while at high speeds, excessive amounts of oil may be lost from the bearings and compressor and ...
