In Figure 4.2, these systems work in reverse of the water-to-air heat pumps: they extract heat from ambient or exhaust air to heat or preheat water used for space or process heating. The system is simply reversed. Heat is extracted from the air inside the home and transferred to water and put back in the ground. All the householder is select the temperature that makes their as cool as they wish.
Figure 4.2 Types of heat pumps (here, the first part refers to the heat source for the outdoor coil during the heating process and the second part indicates the medium treated by the refrigerant in the indoor coil).
