Description

Description

A heat pump raises temperature from a lower to a higher level in a continuous cycle. To do so, the pump uses the energy transfer between two systems, depending mostly on the temperature difference between these systems. As such, it is easier and quicker to heat an object when it is closer to the heat source or the heat source is warmer.

Heat pumps were developed with renewable energy in mind, and the possibility to use renewably produced electricity is a key advantage that heat pumps have over conventional heating systems (such as those using oil or gas). Heat pumps raise the thermal level of a working fluid using a mechanical compressor driven by, for example, electrical energy.

This course focuses on:

  • The definition of a heat pump, its components and its working cycle
  • An introduction to the parameters related to environmental and financial performance
  • Existing heat pump technologies and their applications
  • Heat pumps and their application in different climate zones
  • Refrigerant fluids
