Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide an energy efficient way of converting heat from a low temperature to a higher one, or vice versa. They can be used to power radiators and heat the water in a boiler or as an air-conditioner to cool a space.
Heat pumps can be operated with natural refrigerants;
hydrocarbons,
ammonia
and carbon dioxide.
Although the initial outlay for systems is sometimes high, some governments offer incentive schemes to encourage their uptake.
Global demand for heat pumps is growing, between 2017-2018 global sales rose by 32% to 4.5 million units, with Asia representing 84% of the market.
