Heat Pump Worksheet

What is the primary function of a heat pump?

• To generate heat

• To move heat from one place to another

• To convert heat into electricity

• To store heat

Which of the following is NOT a type of heat pump?

• Air-source heat pump

• Water-source heat pump

• Geothermal heat pump

• Gas-powered heat pump

In which direction does a heat pump move heat during the cooling mode?

• From the inside to the outside

• From the outside to the inside

• Both inside and outside simultaneously

• Heat does not move during cooling mode

What is the main advantage of using a geothermal heat pump?

• It requires little maintenance

• It is most efficient in moderate climates

• It uses stable underground temperatures for heating and cooling

• It operates without the need for a refrigerant

What does the COP (Coefficient of Performance) of a heat pump measure?

• The energy efficiency of the heat pump

• The amount of refrigerant used in the system

• The heat capacity of the pump

Which component in a heat pump is responsible for absorbing heat from the surrounding environment?

• Compressor

• Evaporator

• Condenser

• Expansion valve

In a heat pump, what happens to the refrigerant during compression?

• A) It cools down

• B) It expands and absorbs heat

• C) It turns into gas

• D) It increases in pressure and temperature

Which of the following is a common refrigerant used in heat pumps?

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• R-410A

• Carbon dioxide

What is the primary energy source for an air-source heat pump?

• Natural gas

• Electricity

• Solar power

• Geothermal energy

Which heat pump component is responsible for rejecting heat during heating mode?
