Heat pump technology:

New high-temperature heat pump in the heart of Berlin

-

The principle of heat pumps is simple: with a certain amount of electricity, they raise the temperature of a low-temperature heat source to a higher, usable level. In this way, they generate much more heat than would be the case if electrical energy were converted directly into heat.
