Heat pumps and air conditioners
A heat pump or heat pump is a device for transferring thermal energy from a source to a consumer. Unlike spontaneous heat transfer, which always occurs from a hot body to a cold one, a heat pump transfers heat in the opposite direction. The heat pump requires an external power source to operate. The most common heat pump design consists of a compressor, thermal expansion valve, evaporator and condenser. The coolant circulating inside these components is called refrigerant.
Well-known examples of heat pumps are refrigerators and air conditioners. Heat pumps can be used for both heating and cooling. When a heat pump is used for heating, it performs the same type of thermodynamic cycle as a refrigerator. But in the opposite direction, releasing heat into the space being heated and drawing heat from the cooler surrounding air.
By itself and especially in combination with a solar power plant, a heat pump is the most economical heating and air conditioning equipment available today.
