what process do heat pumps use to produce heat
water heating is a thermodynamic process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking cleaning bathing and space heating in industry hot water and water heated to steam have many uses domestically water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters kettles cauldrons pots or coppers these metal vessels that heat a batch of water do not produce a continual supply of heated water at a preset temperature rarely hot water occurs naturally usually from natural hot springs the temperature varies with the consumption rate becoming cooler as flow increases
