Heat pumps
Abstract
With increasing energy costs and changing cost relativities, potential heat pump applications deserve a thorough reassessment. Such a reassessment is the objective of this book. The topics covered include the general, historical, and theoretical background material; vapor compression equipment; general aspects of system design, with particular reference to the design of space heating systems employing heat pumps; domestic, commercial, and industrial applications; and the relevance of some methods of economic analysis to the selection of heat pump systems.
