lämpösyöttönä

Lämpösyöttönä, also known as heat pump, is a device that transfers heat from one location to another. It operates on the principle of the refrigeration cycle, which involves the compression and expansion of a refrigerant. In the heating mode, the heat pump extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors, providing warmth. Conversely, in the cooling mode, it removes heat from indoors and releases it outdoors, creating a cooling effect. Heat pumps are highly efficient, as they can move multiple units of heat for every unit of electrical energy consumed. They are widely used for space heating and cooling in residential and commercial buildings, offering significant energy savings compared to traditional heating systems. The efficiency of a heat pump is often measured by its coefficient of performance (COP), which is the ratio of heat output to electrical input. Modern heat pumps can achieve COPs of 3 or higher, making them an environmentally friendly choice for heating and cooling.
