what do you mean?
- kalleboo 3y agoHeat pumps which use energy to move heat around are more efficient than using energy to generate heat directly.
- vGPU 3y agoHeat pumps can provide an “efficiency” of some 300-400%+. The “trick” is that they use electricity to move heat instead of creating heat, which is why heat pumps stop working well under a certain temperature. They kinda work like a reverse refrigerator. A fridge takes heat out from the inside and moves it to the outside. A heat pump does the opposite.
- stephen_g 3y agoYou’ve completely failed to answer their actual question, it was the claim of less than 100% efficient heating they were asking about…
- vGPU 3y agoNo. He was replying to this post: > Actual heating systems can be better than 100% efficient, while crypto mining or cinebench or whatever is <100%. The intricacies of why a crypto minor is less than 100% efficient when working as a heater are easily deduced, unless you’re precisely the sort of midwit that likes to leave replies such as the one you left.
