Dig into the science of how heat pumps both heat and cool a home, and find out the benefits and drawbacks of this technology.
--
Typically, with any piece of technology, you pump one unit of energy in and you get about one out. That’s just the first law of thermodynamics: energy has to be conserved. But there’s a piece of technology called a heat pump, where for every bit of energy you put in, you get three to five times as much heat out. What wizardry is this? Anna Rothschild investigates the science of heat pumps.

In Norway people are switching to heat system which uses heat from underground and also use the same system for cooling in summer. All of this is powered by renewable electricity. This switch picked up pace when energy prices went too high during last few years. Most important is using good insulation for the houses/ buildings!

Economies of scale are one thing of how a larger machinery is more efficient while a smaller cooling unit such as a blanket filled with bromine connected to both of a bed's headboards or footboards of a Trippler liquefier column to have a cooling reverse of a "Kang" or "Kans" for others. Stephen Boltzmann Equation combined with Cube Square Law means smaller objects underheat while larger objects overheat so a circuit board has a flange for a radiator heat exchanger while an off world space station has liquid droplets sprayed between booms.

There's some nuance to this discussion, but here is the basic idea: for *MOST* of the US, it simply isn't practical. Heat pumps (that is: reversing your AC system to provide heat in the Winter), require a climate that doesn't go much below 35-40 degF. So that's only the very Southern part of the US. It doesn't even cover all of Georgia. Once temps go below that 35 degF threshold, you might still mathematically be exchanging heat in the system, but not enough to actually warm a house. And the colder it gets, the less efficient it is, the more you need an auxiliary heat source. The claim in this video that it's "500% efficient" might be how the math works out, but no one cares what they equation says when their house is 58 degF in the Winter. They just want it warm. They're claiming this is done "regularly" in places like Norway, so if that's true, then they must be using a different refrigerant that what is commonly used in the US. It's physics, not magic. The common R's used here in US will not reject heat in freezing temps. That's just the physics of it. You will need an aux heater.

My main gripe with the explanation is the explanation of efficiency. It isn't necessarily a heat generator as it is a heat mover: it takes one unit of heat, moves some heat with it to a desired location, and expels the heat it needed to do this in the process of doing it. This is still excellent, but left some questions with regards to the thermodynamics issue. If we have a system with 100% efficiency, it can plug itself into itself to power itself. Let's try to remove it from its intended use. Say I put one of these bad boys in a position to heat up a bunch of water that'll move a turbine that'll transmit the heat as power (oversimplified). If the heat pump takes one unit of heat and "generates" a few more units of heat, this can feed back into itself and break rule 1. If what it does is instead use one heat to pump in heat from an outside reference point, that solves the problem because we've expanded the system. This is why wind turbines aren't perpetual motion machines, they rely on "heat" in the world to move air to spin their turbines so that they can transmit the heat into power. Will this be a reliable way to make power theoretically? Iunno I'm not an energy engineer. It'll require an initial investment of power that might yield multiplicatively more power, but there's still a lot of potential losses in the system that reduce potential output and a *lot* of upfront investments that defeat the whole point of the machine - we have easier ways of to spin a turbine - so I'm keeping my chips elsewhere.

Thank you for (at least very briefly) mentioning in-ground heat pumps. THESE are the real wave of the future for this. Much more efficient all year round due to the extremely consistent ground temps even a foot or two below the surface. The only real draw back to heat pumps is how poorly they perform in extreme hot or cold - but this is all solved with in ground systems.

Up fronts costs are still damning, my family's old gas water heater broke end of last year. We wanted to get a more environment-friendly one but the cost to upgrade to a higher voltage electrical system and the fact that electricity is still more expensive than gas as an energy source made us choose the old route. Incentives are there but not where they need to be financially speaking.

Using 90% vs 500% efficiency wasn't the best worded in my opinion. I think the word choice would mislead folks unfamiliar with the term efficiency to treat the figure as "500% energy efficient" when really it should say "500% efficient at transferring heat" which further aligns with your clarification near the end of the video. Or honestly just removing the word "efficiency" and just say "heat" or "hot air transferring" . The efficiency of energy transfer in a closed system is at most 100% and I know you further explained what you meant by 500% efficiency, it still feels weird to start off with it.

Heat Loss: Some of the heat generated by burning gas escapes through the flue or chimney instead of heating the space. Incomplete Combustion: If the gas doesn't burn completely, some of the energy in the fuel isn't released. This can happen if the heater isn't maintained properly or if it's not operating under ideal conditions. Radiant Loss: Some heat is lost through the walls of the heater itself. This means heat radiates into areas where it's not needed, like into the basement or outside through poorly insulated walls. Standby Loss: When the heater is not actively heating, it still loses some heat to its surroundings. This is called standby loss, which occurs because the heater maintains a pilot light or keeps water warm in a tank.

Terrible script. Efficiency discussions of heat pumps and comparing it to fossil fuels is misleading or confuses people(unless that is the intention). Efficiency of heat pumps are only comparable to electric heaters that are 100% efficient not to fossil fuels. Then again, it should not be used as comparison as heat pumps will just exceed 100% easily. C.O.P. or coefficient of performance is a better term to use for explainers. Stress also that heat pumps basically absorbs, moves, release heat-no magic that multiplies its heat or energy. Additionally, heat pumps not only the best solution. Radiant heaters can also be as effective (upfront and operational cost) if you don't have to heat a whole room.

Without subsidies, installing heat pumps is cost prohibitive. Even with subsidies, well off people are the mostly the main beneficiaries. Installing a heat pump is only a small part of the equation. The transition won't happen without a middle ground. Otherwise, people will be priced out. Same goes for EVs, solar and battery storage.

It depends on the location too. Heat pumps are great in warmer climates, and not so great where it snows half the year. While switching existing units to heat pumps is costly, new constructions opting to install heat pumps instead of traditional AC would be the way to go.

I was fortunate to be born into a pretty well off family. My father uses most of the extra money we have to make our family more green. We got solar panels installed just like a year ago (well we did the paperwork more like 2 years ago but the process is incredibly slow and drowned in paperwork). We also got an electric boiler installed so that we use up as much of the solar power. And also whenever something breaks we buy an electric version of it. We are considering buying a EV and also considered a heatpump. I do realise that on the individual scale this will mean nothing but more and more of our neighbours are getting solar panels, heatpumps and such. And that gives me just glimpse of hope that if everyone who has the money will go green we may at least offset the emissions enough so that the ones who don’t have enough money to make the switch can keep using fossil for a bit longer.(Also idk why so little people talk about insulation when it comes to going green. Heating or cooling a poorly insulated building is like pumping water out of a sinking ship instead of patching the holes.)

You see that exhaust heat coming out of the back of your AC? Yeah well, turn your AC around, and tadaa, you have a heat pump.

PSA: This is why you should keep air vents clean for your refrigerator and air conditioning system. The components will have to work harder and will wear out faster if they struggle to circulate air.

I am currently considering installing a heat pump over an AC but I have an economic problem. It seems at the time of this comment, running a heat pump on electricity is more expensive then using a gas furnace in the winter.

The problem with heat pumps is they use vastly more electricity than buring some heat source. When they reach the floor of their capabilities they they are usung resistive heat to back up the heat pump. All this complexity and power usage makes fuel based heating simpler to maintain and use leas electricity. I know there is CO2 output but hey, the planet has never been greener. Heat pumps only make sense to replace resistive heat. In that case you are using vastly less electricity.

my ac runs actually at 600% efficient , 620%-640% to be precise
@ShadowOfThePit
@ShadowOfThePit 2 ай бұрын
90% efficiency vs 500%? What... what even is being compared. What exactly is "efficiency" supposed to mean here. I would've assumed it meant the efficiency of the conversion from energy to heat, but that obviously can't be right. So what is it?
@fakestory1753
@fakestory1753 2 ай бұрын
the 500% efficiency is measure in same amount of power and getting heat to where you want heat and work can both be measured in quantity of joules, their sum is conserved in system a resistor turn 1J of work into 1J of heat a heat pump move (some heat) from intake, spending (1J of work), and (1J + some joule) of heat arrives at exhaust there is a cap about how much heat can be moved for a system of Hot side with temperature H, Cold side with temperature C, and temperature Delta D = (H-C) (temperature are measured in kelvin) a perfect heat pump can move (H/D) joule of heat to hot side with 1J of work for H = 300K and C = 299K, the ratio of H/D is crazy 300x which means it only takes 1J of work to pull 299J of heat from cold , and 300J arrive at hot side (but the 1 degree delta is unrealistic, so the ratio is much smaller in actual use case) we don't really know the 500% efficiency claim is based on same amount of electrical power or same amount of fuel, both are possible for electrical power, heat pump will always be more than 100% efficient when measure in (exhaust heat/power consumption) for fuel cost, the heat to electricity conversion rate needs to be take into account (30% i suppose) heat pump will be more efficient when delta is small, and burning fuel directly will be more efficient when delta is large

With the same efficiency of heat pumps, you can inject some grams, and after 9 months you get around 3.3 kg. Again, you are not breaking the law of physics, you are just eating food, so energy, in the meanwhile.

My professors always taught me understand thermodynamics and WWII to go far so it took me to MIT for alternate fuel research where I met others interested in nuclear aerospace cryogenics and electroporation fermentation. Sadi Carnot was the first to write about Thermodynamics while others claim it was Ovid Virgil so while I thought I could be Hari Seldon to apply physics to social commentary term paper I discovered an old photo of a Manchurian aerospace factory machine tool of 1938 so eventually It took me to MIT where by invite only of March 2019 I gave a report on how Nihon Chisso's or Nitchitsu's Noguchi of Hungnam Hamhung Hamgyong Province achieved muon catalyzed fusion rocket propulsion before Alvarez and a laser optical trap for a refinery processor before Maiman.

It called HEAT PUMP because it pumps heat from low thermodynamic level to high thermodynamic level. Buy the way 1 - Heat pumps and Chillers are semantic of the same machine. By the way 2 - Kitchen Refrigerator works on the same principals... WOW
