  2. Heat pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

    Specifically, the heat pump transfers thermal energy using a heat pump and refrigeration cycle, cooling the cool space and warming the warm space. [1] In winter a heat pump can move heat from the cool outdoors to warm a house; the pump may also be designed to move heat from the house to the warmer outdoors in summer.

    Heavy electrical loads like air conditioners, space heaters, water heaters and refrigerator/freezers cannot be powered by an inverter as the house battery(s) do not have enough watt-hours and would be run down quickly. King-pin support A king-pin support is used on a fifth-wheel trailer to give the front of the trailer more stability.

  5. Absorption refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigerator

    Common absorption refrigerators use a refrigerant with a very low boiling point (less than −18 °C (0 °F)) just like compressor refrigerators.Compression refrigerators typically use an HCFC or HFC, while absorption refrigerators typically use ammonia or water and need at least a second fluid able to absorb the coolant, the absorbent, respectively water (for ammonia) or brine (for water).

  6. Crankcase heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_heater

    A crankcase heater is an electrical component in a compressor in an air-conditioning system, heat pump system, or chiller system. The crankcase heater is normally on all the time, even when the unit is not running, though temperature sensors and set points may turn it off when not needed.

  7. Unit pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_pump

    The Unit Pump system [1] is a modular high-pressure diesel injection system, which is closely related to the unit Injector system, and is designed for use in commercial vehicle diesel engines. [ 2 ] The systems use an individual injection pump mounted on the engine block for each cylinder so it is primarily designed for OHV or "cam in the block ...

    The condenser is the hot side of an air conditioner or heat pump. Condensers are heat exchangers, and can transfer heat to air or to an intermediate fluid (such as water or an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol) to carry heat to a distant sink, such as ground (earth sink), a body of water, or air (as with cooling towers). constant air volume

  9. Air source heat pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_source_heat_pump

    An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a heat pump that can absorb heat from air outside a building and release it inside; it uses the same vapor-compression refrigeration process and much the same equipment as an air conditioner, but in the opposite direction. ASHPs are the most common type of heat pump and, usually being smaller, tend to be used ...
