The heat pump acts as part of a system that ‘pumps’ or moves heat from a cooler space to a hotter space, or vice versa, allowing industrial process and commercial facility designers capture waste heat for reuse or transfer it away from the building or process in question. These systems are thermally or electrically-driven that efficiently transfer heat from a source fluid to a system-side fluid in order to provide heating or cooling to a building or recover heat from industrial processes and natural heat sources. Heat pumps operate via a refrigeration or absorption cycle; therefore, they require condensers and evaporators, as well as a compressor/absorber, expansion valve, fans, pipes, control systems and other critical components for the transfer of heat from source to sink.
