Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap Heat pumps in Moldova
…air (air-to-air heat pumps) or water (air-to-water heat pumps). Air-to-air heat pumps are common in the United States, Canada, the People’s Republic of China (hereafter “China”), Australia, Norway and Sweden, where they typically supply heating (and cooling) through ductwork or by installing multiple units in various rooms of a building.Air-to-water heat pumps – also known as hydronic heat pumps – use a water-based distribution system to provide warm water to radiators. These are most common in countries that historically have gas-based hydronic heating systems, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Poland…
