Heat Pump
Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling, delivering over 3 times the amount of energy that is consumed. Using the specific properties of refrigerants, electric driven compressors lift the heat from the source to the sink by increasing the pressure.
Advantages
-
Highly efficient provision of heat
- Possible coupling of heating and cooling
- Recovery of waste heat possible
- Can be driven by electricity from solar photovoltaic systems
