Slide 2: Overview of Heat Pumps
- Definition: A heat pump is an energy-efficient device that transfers heat from one place to another using refrigeration principles.
- Function: It can both heat and cool spaces by moving heat against its natural flow, making it a versatile climate control solution.

Slide 3: How Heat Pumps Work
- Operating Process:
- Evaporation: Refrigerant absorbs heat and turns into gas.
- Compression: The compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the gas.
- Condensation: The gas releases heat and turns back into a liquid.
- Expansion: The liquid refrigerant cools and goes back to the evaporator.

Slide 4: Types of Heat Pumps
- Air Source Heat Pumps: Transfer heat between indoor air and outside air, suitable for moderate climates.
- Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps: Utilize the constant temperature of the ground for heating and cooling applications.
- Water Source Heat Pumps: Use bodies of water for heat exchange.
