Wikipedia Articles
- Air source heat pumps - An air source heat pump is a heat pump using the air as a heat source for heating a building. Such heat pumps tend to be much easier and cheaper to install than geothermal exchange heat pumps, but are also usually less efficient.
- Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Thermodynamic heat pump and refrigeration cycles are the models for heat pumps and refrigerators. The difference between the two is that heat pumps are intended to keep a place warm and refrigerators designed to cool it.
- Active solar - Active solar technologies are employed to convert solar energy into usable heat, cause air-movement for ventilation or cooling, or store heat for future use. Active solar uses electrical or mechanical equipment, such as pumps and fans, to increase the usable heat in a system.
- ETEC - Paper thin thermoelectric module that can be embedded into applications for cooling, heating or power generation requirements. eTECs operate as point-specific heat pumps for rapid cooling or heating of semiconductors and other electronics; for thermal management of fiber-optic laser controls and integrated optoelectronics; or for power generation by converting otherwise wasted heat into useful electricity.
- Passive solar - Passive solar technologies convert sunlight into usable heat, cause air-movement for ventilation or cooling, or store heat for future use, without the assistance of other energy sources. Technologies that use a significant amount of conventional energy to power pumps or fans are classified as active solar technologies.
