Heat pumps operate by moving heat from lower temperature areas to higher temperature areas. They typically take advantage of an electrically driven compressor and a closed vapor compression cycle.

We'll discuss the refrigeration cycle using the cycle diagram below. Component #1 is the compressor. It takes refrigerant vapor in from the low pressure side of the circuit, and discharges it at a ...
