Using a heat pump to ensure the operation of the heating and hot water supply system

The article provides an overview of existing heat pump designs. The processes of heat transfer from a hot body to a cold one and reverse processes carried out using heat pumps are considered. It is shown that heat pumps can be used both for preparing hot water with given parameters for heating systems and hot water supply systems, and for obtaining cold. The work of a steam compression heat pump and an HPU-3 power plant for cooling milk with simultaneous heating of water at dairy farms has been considered. Also, a diagram is shown for the THU-14 heat pump unit. The heating coefficient was calculated for the presented heat pump units. An assessment of the conversion factors has also been carried out.
