What is the heat pump?

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy from a source of heat to a destination called a heat sink. Heat pumps move thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer, by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one. A heat pump uses a small amount of external power to accomplish the work of transferring energy from the heat source to the heat sink.

Some key things to know about heat pumps:
1、They can be used for both heating and cooling. In heating mode, they absorb heat from outside air or the ground and pump it indoors. In cooling mode, they work in reverse, absorbing heat from inside air and releasing it outdoors or into the ground.
2、They move heat rather than generate it. Heat pumps don't produce heat, they just transfer existing heat. This makes them more energy efficient than furnaces which must generate heat through combustion.
3、They run on electricity but are more efficient than resistive electric heating. Heat pumps can provide 2-3 times more heat energy per kWh than a resistive electric heater.
4、Common types include air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, and ductless mini-split heat pumps. Each has advantages and tradeoffs.
5、Heat pumps work more efficiently the closer the indoor and outdoor temperatures are. Performance declines in very cold or very hot weather.
So in summary, a heat pump is an efficient heating and cooling system that uses compression and evaporation to move thermal energy between two places. They are a key technology for energy-efficient climate control.
