Heat Pumps for the HomeJohn Cantor, Gavin Harper

SummaryIn recent years, heat pumps have emerged as a promising new form of technology with a relativelylow environmental impact. Moreover, they have presented householders with an opportunity toreduce their heating bills. Heat pumps can heat a building by "pumping" heat from either the groundor the air outside: an intriguing process which utilizes principles that are somewhat analogous tothose employed in the domestic refrigerator. This book describes what a heat pump is, how it works,the different methods of pumping heat, and the importance of an appropriate and well-plannedinstallation. It examines the air, the ground, and water as sources of heat and explains how to makean informed choice; considers the all-important subject of distributing the heat through radiators orthrough an under-floor system; covers hot water production and delivery to the taps; outlinesenvironmental and financial issues associated with heat pumps; dispels common misconceptions;and presents a number of case studies.
