What is the
maximum coefficient of performance for a heat pump if you live
somewhere where the outdoor winter temperatures are -15°C and you
want the inside of your house to be 23°C? If you put 1500 W of
power over two hours into the heat pump, what is the maximum amount
of heat you can get out of it? Find the work required if the
outside temperature is 2°C and use this data to find out if heat
pumps work better in super cold or just cool climates in
winter.
