Definition of heat pumps in English English dictionary: plural form of heat pump
heat pump: A device that transfers heat from something at a lower temperature to something at a higher temperature by doing work
heat pump: device that extracts heat from one substance and transfers it to another substance
heat pump: apparatus that extracts heat from a liquid that is at a higher temperature than its surroundings; can be used to transfer heat from a reservoir outside in order to heat a building
heat pump: A device that warms or cools a building by transferring heat from a relatively low-temperature reservoir to one at a higher temperature. part of a machine that takes heat from one place to another. Device for transferring heat from a substance or space at one temperature to another at a higher temperature. It consists of a compressor, a condenser, a throttle or expansion valve, an evaporator, and a working fluid (refrigerant). The compressor delivers vapourized refrigerant to the condenser in the space to be heated. There, cooler air condenses the refrigerant and becomes heated during the process. The liquid refrigerant then enters the throttle valve and expands, coming out as a liquid-vapour mixture at a lower temperature and pressure. It then enters the evaporator, where the liquid is evaporated by contact with the warmer space. The vapour then passes to the compressor and the cycle is repeated. A heat pump is a reversible system and is commonly used both to heat and to cool buildings. It operates on the same thermodynamic principles as refrigeration
