1. Heat Pumps
By: Kwok Lee
Objective: To give a basic understanding of heat pumps generally and how it functions.

2. What is Heat Pump? A system that transports heat around
The most common type of heat pump is the geothermal heat pump. Other kinds include gas compression, thermoelectric and also phase change heat pumps
Can be used year round
Designs are improving and becoming more common to the public

3. How does it work?
Generally, heat pumps compresses the heat existed in the air into a small concentrated area.
The concentrated heat is then moved to a place where it is less heated, so that heat is given off until equilibrium is reached.
The air then moved back to where it is originated and expand to again absorb heats in the atmosphere.
This process is continuously repeated as long as the heat pump is operating.

4. Benefits
Fuel is not acquired, and therefore safer and more environmental beneficial
Conserves fossil fuels
Uses less energy to produce more heat
Consistent temperature over the whole atmosphere
Preserves a higher humidity in the environment
More efficient and economical than other kinds of heating
Can be use perpetually and for a long term
Works year round and compatible in almost all environments

5. Conclusion
Heat pump is a very good system environmentally, economically, and by any means.
