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. 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3529 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat transfer 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aBuilding construction 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aEngines 606 $aMachinery 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000 606 $aBuilding Physics, HVAC$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aEngine Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17048 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat transfer. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 0$aBuilding construction. 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aEngines. 615 0$aMachinery. 615 14$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aBuilding Physics, HVAC. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aEngine Technology. 676 $a621.4025 700 $aGrassi$b Walter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0597381 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299600003321 996 $aHeat Pumps$92161310 997 $aUNINA
