In fact, before choosing a heat pump, several aspects must be assessed in detail: the actual climate of the installation site, the building’s energy requirements, the heating system, the type of operation etc. After discussing the general working principles, the book describes the main components of compression machines – for EHPs, GHPs and CO2 heat pumps. It then addresses absorption heat pumps and provides additional details on the behavior of two-fluid mixtures. The book presents a performance comparison for the different types, helping designers choose the right one for their needs, and discusses the main refrigerants. Notes on helpful additional literature, websites and videos, also concerning relevant European regulations, round out the coverage. This book will be of interest to all engineers and technicians whose work involves heat pumps. It will also benefit students in energy engineering degree programs who want to deepen their understanding of heat pumps.Green Energy and Technology,1865-3529ThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeat transferMass transferBuilding constructionRenewable energy resourcesEnginesMachineryEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Building Physics, HVAChttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080Renewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Engine Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17048Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.Heat transfer.Mass transfer.Building construction.Renewable energy resources.Engines.Machinery.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Building Physics, HVAC.Renewable and Green Energy.Engine Technology.621.4025Grassi Walterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut597381BOOK9910299600003321Heat Pumps2161310UNINA
