Heat Pump: Regulations and Applications

Heat pump

A thermodynamic system that transfers heat from a low-temperature medium (cold source) to a high-temperature medium (hot source).

Heat pump

A heat pump capable of simultaneously producing heat and cooling for simultaneous needs.

COP (Coefficient of Performance)

A performance indicator for a heat pump in heating mode, measuring the ratio of thermal output to electrical power consumption.

SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance)

Seasonal performance coefficient in heating mode, taking into account temperature fluctuations over the course of a season.

EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio)

Performance indicator in cooling mode, measuring the ratio of cooling capacity...
