They are very efficient systems that, by exploiting electrical energy, greatly reduce local environmental pollution and CO2 global emissions. The fact that electricity is a partially renewable resource and because the coefficient of performance (COP) can be as high as four or more, means that HPs can be nearly carbon neutral for a full sustainable future. The proper selection of the heat source and the correct design of the heat exchangers is crucial for attaining high HP efficiencies. Heat exchangers (also in terms of HP control strategies) are hence one of the main elements of HPs, and improving their performance enhances the effectiveness of the whole system. Both the heat transfer and pressure drop have to be taken into account for the correct sizing, especially in the case of mini- and micro-geometries, for which traditional models and correlations can not be applied. New models and measurements are required for best HPs system design, including optimization strategies for energy exploitation, temperature control, and mechanical reliability. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach of the analysis is requested and become the future challenge. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aadsorption 610 $aair-side Nusselt number 610 $aborehole heat exchangers 610 $abuildings 610 $aCFD 610 $aCFD modelling 610 $achiller 610 $acooling technology 610 $adistributed temperature response test 610 $adual source heat pump 610 $aempirical heat transfer equation 610 $aenergy saving for HVAC 610 $aEnergyPlus 610 $aexergy transfer performance 610 $aexperimental results 610 $ag-Function 610 $aGAHE 610 $agraphene nanoparticles 610 $aground coupled heat pumps 610 $aground heat exchanger 610 $aground source heat pump 610 $aground-to-air heat exchangers 610 $agrouting material 610 $aheat exchanger 610 $aheat pump 610 $aheat pumps 610 $ahydration heat release 610 $amarine seawater source 610 $amodels for calculating the thermal efficiency of ground-to-air heat exchangers 610 $ananofluids 610 $anumerical simulations 610 $aphase change materials 610 $apreheating and precooling for HVAC 610 $ashallow geothermal system 610 $atube heat exchanger with plate-fins 610 $avarious heat transfer equations in each tube row 610 $awaste heat utilization 610 $awhole-building energy simulation 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aFossa$b Marco$4edt$01295455 702 $aPriarone$b Antonella$4edt 702 $aFossa$b Marco$4oth 702 $aPriarone$b Antonella$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557382603321 996 $aDesign of Heat Exchangers for Heat Pump Applications$93023464 997 $aUNINA
