2. Thermoelectric cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling

   Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.

3. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   A heat pump is a device that consumes energy (usually electricity) to transfer heat from a cold heat sink to a hot heat sink. Specifically, the heat pump transfers thermal energy using a refrigeration cycle , cooling the cool space and warming the warm space. [ 1 ]

4. Absorption-compression heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption-compression...

   An absorption-compression heat pump (ACHP) is a device that integrate an electric compressor in an absorption heat pump. In some cases this is obtained by combining a vapor-compression heat pump and an absorption heat pump. It is also referred to as a hybrid heat pump [1] which is however a broader field.

   Electrical heaters are often used as backup or supplemental heat for heat pump systems. The heat pump gained popularity in the 1950s in Japan and the United States. [14] Heat pumps can extract heat from various sources, such as environmental air, exhaust air from a building, or from the ground. Heat pumps transfer heat from outside the ...
