Heat flows spontaneously from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Heat does not flow spontaneously from lower temperature to higher, but it can be made to flow in this direction if <a href="/facts/Work_(physics)/mbclFPBs">work</a> is performed. The work required to transfer a given amount of heat is usually much less than the amount of heat; this is the motivation for using heat pumps in applications such as the heating of water and the interior of buildings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>
The amount of work required to drive an amount of heat Q from a lower-temperature reservoir such as ambient air to a higher-temperature reservoir such as the interior of a building is:

 {\displaystyle \mathrm {COP} }
 
 is the instantaneous <a href="/facts/Coefficient_of_performance/35m7j66C">coefficient of performance</a> for the heat pump at the temperatures prevailing in the reservoirs at one instant.</li></ul>
The coefficient of performance of a heat pump is greater than one so the work required is less than the heat transferred, making a heat pump a more efficient form of heating than electrical resistance heating. As the temperature of the higher-temperature reservoir increases in response to the heat flowing into it, the coefficient of performance decreases, causing an increasing amount of work to be required for each unit of heat being transferred.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>
The <a href="/facts/Heat_pump_and_refrigeration_cycle/yW0gnSvL">coefficient of performance, and the work required</a> by a heat pump can be calculated easily by considering an ideal heat pump operating on the <a href="/facts/Carnot_cycle/cjN9V9q8">reversed Carnot cycle</a>:

<ul><li>If the low-temperature reservoir is at a temperature of 270 K (−3 °C) and the interior of the building is at 280 K (7 °C) the relevant coefficient of performance is 27. This means only 1 joule of work is required to transfer 27 joules of heat from a reservoir at 270 K to another at 280 K. The one joule of work ultimately ends up as <a href="/facts/Thermal_energy/eVaKAC7K">thermal energy</a> in the interior of the building so for each 27 joules of heat that are removed from the low-temperature reservoir, 28 joules of heat are added to the building interior, making the heat pump even more attractive from an efficiency perspective.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a></li>
<li>As the temperature of the interior of the building rises progressively to 300 K (27 °C) the coefficient of performance falls progressively to 9. This means each joule of work is responsible for transferring 9 joules of heat out of the low-temperature reservoir and into the building. Again, the 1 joule of work ultimately ends up as thermal energy in the interior of the building so 10 joules of heat are added to the building interior.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a></li></ul>
This is the theoretical amount of heat pumped but in practice it will be less for various reasons, for example if the outside unit has been installed where there is not enough airflow. More data sharing with owners and academics—perhaps from <a href="/facts/Heat_meter/MruCV2xw">heat meters</a>—could improve efficiency in the long run.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>

In the period before 1875, heat pumps were for the time being pursued for <a href="/facts/Vapor-compression_evaporation/DG43GclW">vapour compression evaporation</a> (open heat pump process) in salt works with their obvious advantages for saving wood and coal. In 1857, Peter von Rittinger was the first to try to implement the idea of vapor compression in a small pilot plant. Presumably inspired by Rittinger's experiments in Ebensee, Antoine-Paul Piccard from the University of Lausanne and the engineer J. H. Weibel from the Weibel–Briquet company in Geneva built the world's first really functioning vapor compression system with a two-stage piston compressor. In 1877 this first heat pump in Switzerland was installed in the <a href="/facts/Bex/4N0NQNpy">Bex salt works</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a>

An international milestone is the heat pump built by Escher Wyss in 1937/38 to replace the wood stoves in the City Hall of Zurich. To avoid noise and vibrations, a recently developed rotary piston compressor was used. This historic heat pump heated the town hall for 63 years until 2001.

<h3>Air-source</h3>
This section is an excerpt from <a href="/facts/Air_source_heat_pump/rAEFXyzM">Air source heat pump</a>.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_source_heat_pump&action=edit">edit</a>]

An <a href="/facts/Air_source_heat_pump/rAEFXyzM">air source heat pump</a> (ASHP) is a heat pump that can absorb heat from air outside a building and release it inside; it uses the same <a href="/facts/Vapor-compression_refrigeration/oT3EM4nS">vapor-compression refrigeration</a> process and much the same equipment as an <a href="/facts/Air_conditioning/bK2sIKQd">air conditioner</a>, but in the opposite direction. ASHPs are the most common type of heat pump and, usually being smaller, tend to be used to heat individual houses or flats rather than blocks, districts or industrial processes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a>
Air-to-air heat pumps provide hot or cold air directly to rooms, but do not usually provide hot water. Air-to-water heat pumps use <a href="/facts/Radiator_(heating)/UAtVC1PI">radiators</a> or <a href="/facts/Underfloor_heating/FBRACoeH">underfloor heating</a> to heat a whole house and are often also used to provide <a href="/facts/Domestic_hot_water/epdN1qdd">domestic hot water</a>.
An ASHP can typically gain 4 kWh thermal energy from 1 kWh electric energy. They are optimized for flow temperatures between 30 and 40 °C (86 and 104 °F), suitable for buildings with heat emitters sized for low flow temperatures. With losses in efficiency, an ASHP can even provide full central heating with a flow temperature up to 80 °C (176 °F).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a>
As of 2023<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heat_pump&action=edit">[update]</a> about 10% of building heating worldwide is from ASHPs. They are the main way to <a href="/facts/Phase-out_of_gas_boilers/0KG0grNj">phase out gas boilers</a> (also known as "furnaces") from houses, to avoid their <a href="/facts/Greenhouse_gas_emissions/Cu9nXPHE">greenhouse gas emissions</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a>
Air-source heat pumps are used to move heat between two heat exchangers, one outside the building which is fitted with fins through which air is forced using a fan and the other which either directly heats the air inside the building or heats water which is then circulated around the building through radiators or underfloor heating which releases the heat to the building. These devices can also operate in a cooling mode where they extract heat via the internal heat exchanger and eject it into the ambient air using the external heat exchanger. Some can be used to heat water for washing which is stored in a domestic hot water tank.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a>
Air-source heat pumps are relatively easy and inexpensive to install, so are the most widely used type. In mild weather, <a href="/facts/Coefficient_of_performance/35m7j66C">coefficient of performance</a> (COP) may be between 2 and 5, while at temperatures below around −8 °C (18 °F) an air-source heat pump may still achieve a COP of 1 to 4.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>

While older air-source heat pumps performed relatively poorly at low temperatures and were better suited for warm climates, newer models with variable-speed compressors remain highly efficient in freezing conditions allowing for wide adoption and cost savings in places like Minnesota and Maine in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>
<h3>Ground source</h3>
This section is an excerpt from <a href="/facts/Ground_source_heat_pump/xuYc56Gk">Ground source heat pump</a>.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ground_source_heat_pump&action=edit">edit</a>]

A <a href="/facts/Ground_source_heat_pump/xuYc56Gk">ground source heat pump</a> (also geothermal heat pump) is a heating/cooling system for buildings that use a type of heat pump to transfer heat to or from the ground, taking advantage of the relative constancy of temperatures of the earth through the seasons. Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs)—or geothermal heat pumps (GHP), as they are commonly termed in North America—are among the most energy-efficient technologies for providing <a href="/facts/HVAC/gm1UQdR6">HVAC</a> and <a href="/facts/Water_heating/epdN1qdd">water heating</a>, using less energy than can be achieved by use of resistive <a href="/facts/Electric_heater/Lx6n0WCC">electric heaters</a>.

Efficiency is given as a <a href="/facts/Coefficient_of_performance/35m7j66C">coefficient of performance</a> (CoP) which is typically in the range 3-6, meaning that the devices provide 3-6 units of heat for each unit of electricity used. Setup costs are higher than for other heating systems, due to the requirement of installing ground loops over large areas or of drilling bore holes, hence ground source is often installed when new blocks of flats are built.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> <a href="/facts/Air-source_heat_pump/rAEFXyzM">Air-source heat pumps</a> have lower set-up costs.
<h3>Heat recovery ventilation</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Heat_recovery_ventilation/z4Q6VlPI">Heat recovery ventilation</a>
Exhaust air heat pumps extract heat from the exhaust air of a building and require <a href="/facts/Ventilation_(architecture)/6p7CVPTj">mechanical ventilation</a>. Two classes exist:

<ul><li>Exhaust air-air heat pumps transfer heat to intake air.</li>
<li>Exhaust air-water heat pumps transfer heat to a heating circuit that includes a tank of domestic hot water.</li></ul>
<h3>Solar-assisted</h3>
This section is an excerpt from <a href="/facts/Solar-assisted_heat_pump/jVjy8ya4">Solar-assisted heat pump</a>.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Solar-assisted_heat_pump&action=edit">edit</a>]

A <a href="/facts/Solar-assisted_heat_pump/jVjy8ya4">solar-assisted heat pump</a> (SAHP) is a system that combines a heat pump and <a href="/facts/Solar_thermal_collector/sR9KzYbL">thermal solar panels</a> and/or <a href="/facts/Solar_panel/gufbEu8n">PV solar panels</a> in a single integrated system.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a> Heat pumps require a low temperature heat source which can be provided by solar energy. Typically, these two technologies are used separately (or only placing them in parallel) to produce warm air or <a href="/facts/Water_heating/epdN1qdd">hot water</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> In this system the solar thermal panel performs the function of the low temperature heat source and the heat produced is used to feed the heat pump's evaporator.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> The goal of this system is to get high coefficient of performance (<a href="/facts/Coefficient_of_performance/35m7j66C">COP</a>) and then produce energy in a more <a href="/facts/Energy_conversion_efficiency/gSqXlWoI">efficient</a> and less expensive way. Air source heat pumps which are preheated by solar air collectors have an additional benefit of lower maintenance as the outside fan unit can be protected from the harsh winter environment.
Solar PV energy can power the heat pump electrically to enable electrification of heating buildings<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> and <a href="/facts/Greenhouse/VBHMUgfM">greenhouses</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> These systems enable <a href="/facts/Electrification/QbQynVHW">electrification</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> of heating/cooling and are normally driven by economics<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> and <a href="/facts/Climate_change_mitigation/GgkoeWMk">decarbonization</a> goals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> Such systems have been shown to be economic in the Middle East,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> North America,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> Asia<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a> and Europe.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a>

It is possible to use any type of solar thermal system with air or liquid collectors, (sheet and tubes, roll-bond, heat pipe, thermal plates) or <a href="/facts/Photovoltaic_thermal_hybrid_solar_collector/tBcHhrHe">hybrid</a> (<a href="/facts/Mono-crystalline_silicon/UMG5pFp9">mono</a>/<a href="/facts/Polycrystalline_silicon/NdywIRGW">polycrystalline</a>, <a href="/facts/Thin-film_solar_cell/54UK9nKn">thin film</a>) in combination with the heat pump. The use of a hybrid panel is preferable because it allows covering a part of the electricity demand of the heat pump and reduce the power consumption and consequently the <a href="/facts/Variable_cost/FRwUSFp5">variable costs</a> of the system.
<h3>Water-source</h3>

A <a href="/facts/Water-source_heat_pump/JAprSmeL">water-source heat pump</a> works in a similar manner to a ground-source heat pump, except that it takes heat from a body of water rather than the ground. The body of water does, however, need to be large enough to be able to withstand the cooling effect of the unit without freezing or creating an adverse effect for wildlife.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> The largest water-source heat pump was installed in the Danish town of Esbjerg in 2023.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a>

<h3>Others</h3>
A thermoacoustic heat pump operates as a <a href="/facts/Thermoacoustic_heat_engine/3E4DdDU9">thermoacoustic heat engine</a> without refrigerant but instead uses a standing wave in a sealed chamber driven by a loudspeaker to achieve a temperature difference across the chamber.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a>
Electrocaloric heat pumps are solid state.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>

<h2 id="applications">Applications</h2>
The <a href="/facts/International_Energy_Agency/HErEraSy">International Energy Agency</a> estimated that, as of 2021, heat pumps installed in buildings have a combined capacity of more than 1000 GW.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> They are used for <a href="/facts/Heating,_ventilation,_and_air_conditioning/gm1UQdR6">heating, ventilation, and air conditioning</a> (HVAC) and may also provide domestic hot water and tumble clothes drying.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a> The purchase costs are supported in various countries by consumer rebates.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a>

<h3>Space heating and sometimes also cooling</h3>
In HVAC applications, a heat pump is typically a <a href="/facts/Vapor-compression_refrigeration/oT3EM4nS">vapor-compression refrigeration</a> device that includes a <a href="/facts/Reversing_valve/5e1w4QG4">reversing valve</a> and optimized heat exchangers so that the direction of heat flow (thermal energy movement) may be reversed. The reversing valve switches the direction of refrigerant through the cycle and therefore the heat pump may deliver either heating or cooling to a building.
Because the two heat exchangers, the condenser and evaporator, must swap functions, they are optimized to perform adequately in both modes. Therefore, the <a href="/facts/SEER/lMzpkDlh">Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating</a> (SEER in the US) or <a href="/facts/European_seasonal_energy_efficiency_ratio/FcQhqwg9">European seasonal energy efficiency ratio</a> of a reversible heat pump is typically slightly less than those of two separately optimized machines. For equipment to receive the <a href="/facts/Energy_Star/t4qaxkLq">US Energy Star</a> rating, it must have a rating of at least 14 SEER. Pumps with ratings of 18 SEER or above are considered highly efficient. The highest efficiency heat pumps manufactured are up to 24 SEER.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a>
<a href="/facts/Heating_seasonal_performance_factor/VRR3dhh9">Heating seasonal performance factor</a> (in the US) or Seasonal Performance Factor (in Europe) are ratings of heating performance. The SPF is Total heat output per annum / Total electricity consumed per annum in other words the average heating COP over the year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>

<h4>Window mounted heat pump</h4>

Window mounted heat pumps run on standard 120v AC outlets and provide heating, cooling, and humidity control. They are more efficient with lower noise levels, condensation management, and a smaller footprint than <a href="/facts/Packaged_terminal_air_conditioner/7gTW1vnR">window mounted air conditioners</a> that just do cooling.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a>

<h3>Water heating</h3>
In <a href="/facts/Water_heating/epdN1qdd">water heating</a> applications, heat pumps may be used to heat or preheat water for swimming pools, homes or industry. Usually heat is extracted from outdoor air and transferred to an indoor water tank.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a>

<h3>District heating</h3>
Large (megawatt-scale) heat pumps are used for <a href="/facts/District_heating/Y5tAbmUW">district heating</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a> However as of 2022<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heat_pump&action=edit">[update]</a> about 90% of district heat is from <a href="/facts/Fossil_fuel/BPgxAqB7">fossil fuels</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> In Europe, heat pumps account for a mere 1% of heat supply in district heating networks but several countries have targets to decarbonise their networks between 2030 and 2040.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a> Possible sources of heat for such applications are <a href="/facts/Sewage/aC5N1kls">sewage</a> water, ambient water (e.g. sea, lake and river water), industrial <a href="/facts/Waste_heat/nGBH1Vc8">waste heat</a>, <a href="/facts/Geothermal_energy/ClKR9sTL">geothermal energy</a>, <a href="/facts/Flue_gas/ETBGr9II">flue gas</a>, waste heat from <a href="/facts/District_cooling/bfNgew8T">district cooling</a> and heat from solar <a href="/facts/Seasonal_thermal_energy_storage/ngbl8dk9">seasonal thermal energy storage</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> Large-scale heat pumps for district heating combined with <a href="/facts/Thermal_energy_storage/t7qMtkeo">thermal energy storage</a> offer high flexibility for the integration of <a href="/facts/Variable_renewable_energy/kynTl1t2">variable renewable energy</a>. Therefore, they are regarded as a key technology for <a href="/facts/Climate_change_mitigation/GgkoeWMk">limiting climate change</a> by <a href="/facts/Fossil_fuel_phase-out/edlaMjr4">phasing out fossil fuels</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> They are also a crucial element of <a href="/facts/Cold_district_heating/3TfvnyTf">systems which can both heat and cool districts</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a>

<h3>Industrial heating</h3>
There is great potential to reduce the energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions in industry by application of industrial heat pumps, for example for <a href="/facts/Process_heat/UMMp9VwH">process heat</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a> Short payback periods of less than 2 years are possible, while achieving a high reduction of CO2 emissions (in some cases more than 50%).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> Industrial heat pumps can heat up to 200 °C, and can meet the heating demands of many <a href="/facts/Light_industry/Kwv9uAP4">light industries</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a> In Europe alone, 15 GW of heat pumps could be installed in 3,000 facilities in the paper, food and chemicals industries.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a>

<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Coefficient_of_performance/35m7j66C">Coefficient of performance</a>
The performance of a heat pump is determined by the ability of the pump to extract heat from a low temperature environment (the source) and deliver it to a higher temperature environment (the sink).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a> Performance varies, depending on installation details, temperature differences, site elevation, location on site, pipe runs, flow rates, and maintenance. 
In general, heat pumps work most efficiently (that is, the heat output produced for a given energy input) when the difference between the heat source and the heat sink is small. When using a heat pump for space or water heating, therefore, the heat pump will be most efficient in mild conditions, and decline in efficiency on very cold days. Performance metrics supplied to consumers attempt to take this variation into account.
Common performance metrics are the SEER (in cooling mode) and seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) (commonly used just for heating), although SCOP can be used for both modes of operation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> Larger values of either metric indicate better performance.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a> When comparing the performance of heat pumps, the term performance is preferred to efficiency, with <a href="/facts/Coefficient_of_performance/35m7j66C">coefficient of performance</a> (COP) being used to describe the ratio of useful heat movement per work input.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a> An <a href="/facts/Electrical_resistance_heater/Lx6n0WCC">electrical resistance heater</a> has a COP of 1.0, which is considerably lower than a well-designed heat pump which will typically have a COP of 3 to 5 with an external temperature of 10 °C and an internal temperature of 20 °C. Because the ground is a constant temperature source, a ground-source heat pump is not subjected to large temperature fluctuations, and therefore is the most energy-efficient type of heat pump.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a>
The "seasonal coefficient of performance" (SCOP) is a measure of the aggregate energy efficiency measure over a period of one year which is dependent on regional climate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a> One framework for this calculation is given by the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 813/2013.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a>
A heat pump's operating performance in cooling mode is characterized in the US by either its <a href="/facts/Energy_efficiency_ratio/lMzpkDlh">energy efficiency ratio</a> (EER) or <a href="/facts/Seasonal_energy_efficiency_ratio/lMzpkDlh">seasonal energy efficiency ratio</a> (SEER), both of which have units of BTU/(h·W) (note that 1 BTU/(h·W) = 0.293 W/W) and larger values indicate better performance.

<h3>Carbon footprint</h3>
The <a href="/facts/Carbon_footprint/gRb1RaQl">carbon footprint</a> of heat pumps depends on their individual efficiency and how electricity is produced. An increasing share of low-carbon energy sources such as wind and solar will lower the impact on the climate.

<h2 id="operation">Operation</h2>
See also: <a href="/facts/Vapor-compression_refrigeration/oT3EM4nS">Vapor-compression refrigeration</a>

Vapor-compression uses a circulating <a href="/facts/Refrigerant/rI60t5zU">refrigerant</a> as the medium which absorbs heat from one space, compresses it thereby increasing its temperature before releasing it in another space. The system normally has eight main components: a <a href="/facts/Gas_compressor/I0vV0Tx2">compressor</a>, a reservoir, a <a href="/facts/Reversing_valve/5e1w4QG4">reversing valve</a> which selects between heating and cooling mode, two <a href="/facts/Thermal_expansion_valve/TTvjb0tf">thermal expansion valves</a> (one used when in heating mode and the other when used in cooling mode) and two heat exchangers, one associated with the external heat source/sink and the other with the interior. In heating mode the external heat exchanger is the evaporator and the internal one being the condenser; in cooling mode the roles are reversed.
Circulating refrigerant enters the compressor in the thermodynamic state known as a <a href="/facts/Boiling_point/E2BK9QoS">saturated vapor</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a> and is compressed to a higher pressure, resulting in a higher temperature as well. The hot, compressed vapor is then in the thermodynamic state known as a superheated vapor and it is at a temperature and pressure at which it can be <a href="/facts/Condensation/yvmkI08A">condensed</a> with either cooling water or cooling air flowing across the coil or tubes. In heating mode this heat is used to heat the building using the internal heat exchanger, and in cooling mode this heat is rejected via the external heat exchanger.
The condensed, liquid refrigerant, in the thermodynamic state known as a <a href="/facts/Boiling_point/E2BK9QoS">saturated liquid</a>, is next routed through an expansion valve where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in pressure. That pressure reduction results in the adiabatic <a href="/facts/Flash_evaporation/e7IxEL7y">flash evaporation</a> of a part of the liquid refrigerant. The auto-refrigeration effect of the adiabatic flash evaporation lowers the temperature of the liquid and-vapor refrigerant mixture to where it is colder than the temperature of the enclosed space to be refrigerated.
The cold mixture is then routed through the coil or tubes in the evaporator. A fan circulates the warm air in the enclosed space across the coil or tubes carrying the cold refrigerant liquid and vapor mixture. That warm air <a href="/facts/Evaporates/tgvIlJys">evaporates</a> the liquid part of the cold refrigerant mixture. At the same time, the circulating air is cooled and thus lowers the temperature of the enclosed space to the desired temperature. The evaporator is where the circulating refrigerant absorbs and removes heat which is subsequently rejected in the condenser and transferred elsewhere by the water or air used in the condenser.
To complete the <a href="/facts/Refrigeration_cycle/yW0gnSvL">refrigeration cycle</a>, the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator is again a saturated vapor and is routed back into the compressor.
Over time, the evaporator may collect ice or water from ambient <a href="/facts/Humidity/Nwb28VlT">humidity</a>. The ice is melted through <a href="/facts/Auto-defrost/3F0rF2PL">defrosting</a> cycle. An internal heat exchanger is either used to heat/cool the interior air directly or to heat water that is then circulated through radiators or underfloor heating circuit to either heat or cool the buildings.

<h3>Improvement of coefficient of performance by subcooling</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Subcooling/DJSPYuSG">Subcooling</a>
Heat input can be improved if the <a href="/facts/Refrigerant/rI60t5zU">refrigerant</a> enters the evaporator with a lower vapor content. This can be achieved by cooling the liquid refrigerant after condensation. The gaseous refrigerant condenses on the heat exchange surface of the condenser. To achieve a heat flow from the gaseous flow center to the wall of the condenser, the temperature of the liquid refrigerant must be lower than the condensation temperature.
Additional <a href="/facts/Subcooling/DJSPYuSG">subcooling</a> can be achieved by heat exchange between relatively warm liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser and the cooler refrigerant vapor emerging from the evaporator. The <a href="/facts/Enthalpy/bBou8lCE">enthalpy</a> difference required for the subcooling leads to the superheating of the vapor drawn into the compressor. When the increase in cooling achieved by subcooling is greater that the compressor drive input required to overcome the additional pressure losses, such a heat exchange improves the coefficient of performance.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a>
One disadvantage of the subcooling of liquids is that the difference between the condensing temperature and the heat-sink temperature must be larger. This leads to a moderately high pressure difference between condensing and evaporating pressure, whereby the compressor energy increases.

<h3>Refrigerant choice</h3>

Pure refrigerants can be divided into organic substances (<a href="/facts/Hydrocarbons/Dcg95Ju5">hydrocarbons</a> (HCs), <a href="/facts/Chlorofluorocarbons/uLApxm7K">chlorofluorocarbons</a> (CFCs), <a href="/facts/Hydrochlorofluorocarbons/uLApxm7K">hydrochlorofluorocarbons</a> (HCFCs), <a href="/facts/Hydrofluorocarbons/mUNTbYch">hydrofluorocarbons</a> (HFCs), <a href="/facts/Hydrofluoroolefins/nAg3sNqf">hydrofluoroolefins</a> (HFOs), and HCFOs), and inorganic substances (<a href="/facts/Ammonia/MtLtJFtz">ammonia</a> (NH3), <a href="/facts/Carbon_dioxide/xGzpppEp">carbon dioxide</a> (CO2), and <a href="/facts/Water/0lkXnJPK">water</a> (H2O)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:101" href="#fn:101">101</a> Their boiling points are usually below −25 °C.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:102" href="#fn:102">102</a>
In the past 200 years, the standards and requirements for new refrigerants have changed. Nowadays low <a href="/facts/Global_warming_potential/tgTbpwbJ">global warming potential</a> (GWP) is required, in addition to all the previous requirements for safety, practicality, material compatibility, appropriate atmospheric life, and compatibility with high-efficiency products. By 2022, devices using refrigerants with a very low GWP still have a small market share but are expected to play an increasing role due to enforced regulations,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:103" href="#fn:103">103</a> as most countries have now ratified the <a href="/facts/Kigali_Amendment/de9aMTdg">Kigali Amendment</a> to ban HFCs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:104" href="#fn:104">104</a> <a href="/facts/Isobutane/Bd8H7rsH">Isobutane (R600A)</a> and <a href="/facts/Propane/E0b23KGh">propane (R290)</a> are far less harmful to the environment than conventional hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) and are already being used in <a href="/facts/Air_source_heat_pump/rAEFXyzM">air-source heat pumps</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:105" href="#fn:105">105</a> Propane may be the most suitable for high temperature heat pumps.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:106" href="#fn:106">106</a> Ammonia (R717) and carbon dioxide (<a href="/facts/Carbon_dioxide/xGzpppEp">R-744</a>) also have a low GWP.

Until the 1990s, heat pumps, along with fridges and other related products used <a href="/facts/Chlorofluorocarbon/uLApxm7K">chlorofluorocarbons</a> (CFCs) as refrigerants, which caused major damage to the <a href="/facts/Ozone_layer/v4KfjalC">ozone layer</a> when released into the <a href="/facts/Earth%27s_atmosphere/FV97Am25">atmosphere</a>. Use of these chemicals was banned or severely restricted by the <a href="/facts/Montreal_Protocol/Hmf70BQK">Montreal Protocol</a> of August 1987.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:109" href="#fn:109">109</a>

Devices with R-290 refrigerant (propane) are expected to play a key role in the future.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:120" href="#fn:120">120</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:121" href="#fn:121">121</a> The 100-year GWP of propane, at 0.02, is extremely low and is approximately 7000 times less than R-32.

Nonetheless, by 2022, an increasing number of devices with R-290 were offered for domestic use, especially in Europe.
At the same time,[when?] HFC refrigerants still dominate the market. Recent government mandates have seen the phase-out of <a href="/facts/Chlorodifluoromethane/D1pGLBP0">R-22</a> refrigerant. Replacements such as R-32 and R-410A are being promoted as environmentally friendly but still have a high GWP.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:125" href="#fn:125">125</a> A heat pump typically uses 3 kg of refrigerant. With R-32 this amount still has a 20-year impact equivalent to 7 tons of CO2, which corresponds to two years of natural gas heating in an average household. Refrigerants with a high ODP have already been phased out.

<h2 id="government-incentives">Government incentives</h2>

<h3>Australia</h3>
Food processors, brewers, petfood producers and other industrial energy users are exploring whether it is feasible to use renewable energy to produce industrial-grade heat. Process heating accounts for the largest share of onsite energy use in Australian manufacturing, with lower-temperature operations like food production particularly well-suited to transition to renewables.
To help producers understand how they could benefit from making the switch, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) provided funding to the Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) to undertake pre-feasibility studies at a range of sites around Australia, with the most promising locations advancing to full feasibility studies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:128" href="#fn:128">128</a>
In an effort to incentivize energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact, the Australian states of Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland have implemented rebate programs targeting the upgrade of existing hot water systems. These programs specifically encourage the transition from traditional gas or electric systems to heat pump based systems.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:129" href="#fn:129">129</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:130" href="#fn:130">130</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:131" href="#fn:131">131</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:132" href="#fn:132">132</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:133" href="#fn:133">133</a>

<h3>Canada</h3>
In 2022, the Canada Greener Homes Grant<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:134" href="#fn:134">134</a> provides up to $5000 for upgrades (including certain heat pumps), and $600 for energy efficiency evaluations.

<h3>China</h3>
Purchase subsidies in rural areas in the 2010s reduced burning coal for heating, which had been causing ill health.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a>
In the 2024 report by the <a href="/facts/International_Energy_Agency/HErEraSy">International Energy Agency</a> (IEA) titled "The Future of Heat Pumps in China," it is highlighted that China, as the world's largest market for heat pumps in buildings, plays a critical role in the global industry. The country accounts for over one-quarter of global sales, with a 12% increase in 2023 alone, despite a global sales dip of 3% the same year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a>
Heat pumps are now used in approximately 8% of all heating equipment sales for buildings in China as of 2022, and they are increasingly becoming the norm in central and southern regions for both heating and cooling. Despite their higher upfront costs and relatively low awareness, heat pumps are favored for their energy efficiency, consuming three to five times less energy than electric heaters or fossil fuel-based solutions. Currently, decentralized heat pumps installed in Chinese buildings represent a quarter of the global installed capacity, with a total capacity exceeding 250 GW, which covers around 4% of the heating needs in buildings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a>
Under the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), which aligns with China's carbon neutrality goals, the capacity is expected to reach 1,400 GW by 2050, meeting 25% of heating needs. This scenario would require an installation of about 100 GW of heat pumps annually until 2050. Furthermore, the heat pump sector in China employs over 300,000 people, with employment numbers expected to double by 2050, underscoring the importance of vocational training for industry growth. This robust development in the heat pump market is set to play a significant role in reducing direct emissions in buildings by 30% and cutting PM2.5 emissions from residential heating by nearly 80% by 2030.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a>

The High-efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program was created in 2022 to award grants to State energy offices and Indian Tribes in order to establish state-wide high-efficiency electric-home rebates. Effective immediately, American households are eligible for a tax credit to cover the costs of buying and installing a heat pump, up to $2,000. Starting in 2023, low- and moderate-level income households will be eligible for a heat-pump rebate of up to $8,000.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:147" href="#fn:147">147</a>

It used the Defense Production Act to do so, because according to the administration, energy that is better for the climate is also better for national security.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:149" href="#fn:149">149</a>
