A German research group has proposed to use reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize the utilization of heat pumps (HPs) for space heating in big apartment complexes. RL is a type of machine learning ...

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.

Advanced modulating technology in the new Coleman ® LX Series 16 SEER/9.0 HSPF heat pump from Johnson Controls Inc. contributes to more even temperatures and lower operating costs. Proven in Coleman’s ...

More and more house-owners and property managers are choosing heat pumps to heat their buildings. A study by ETH Zurich has determined that many of these units have been wrongly configured or set up, ...

Heat pumps are emerging as an efficient solution for space heating and air conditioning, especially when used in variable refrigerant flow systems. They can match the most efficient air conditioning ...

Homeowners looking for an energy-efficient alternative to traditional air conditioners in the spring and summer months (and furnaces in the winter) might want to invest in a heat pump. It's a type of ...

Heat pumps are having a moment in the spotlight—or as close to one as a heating and cooling appliance can get. Whether it’s ducted heat pumps, mini-splits, or even geothermal systems, there’s a buzz ...
