What is COP in the heat pump?

COP stands for Coefficient of Performance and it is a measure of the efficiency of a heat pump. It is the ratio of the amount of heat energy delivered by the heat pump to the amount of electrical energy that is supplied to run the heat pump.

In other words, the COP of a heat pump is the amount of heat that the heat pump can move from one place to another (e.g. from the outside air to the inside of a building) compared to the amount of energy it takes to do so. A higher COP means that the heat pump is more efficient and can move more heat energy with less electrical energy input. It is an important factor to consider when choosing a heat pump for your home or business.

For example, a heat pump with a COP of 3.0 can move three units of heat energy for every unit of electrical energy consumed. This means that it is three times more efficient than an electric resistance heater, which has a COP of 1.0, and can only produce one unit of heat energy for every unit of electrical energy consumed.
