Decentralized Heat Pump Electricity¤

Introduction¤

This technology refers to a Low Temparature Decentralized Heat Pump system with a coefficient of performance of 3. Standard heat pumps operate on a reversed Carnot cycle - instead of harvesting heat from a high-temperature heat source, generating work and discharging low-temperature heat into a heat sink as a heat engine does, they harvest heat from a low-temperature heat source, absorb work and reject useful heat into a high-temperature heat sink.
