Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cooling in a heat pump is accomplished through the process of vaporization occurring in the coils. As the refrigerant in the coils absorbs heat from the air or water being cooled, it vaporizes and carries the heat away. The vaporized refrigerant is then compressed and condensed in another part of the system, releasing the heat gained during vaporization.
