  Heat Pump
Heat Pumps are usually characterized by a coefficient of performance which is the number of units of energy delivered to the hot reservoir per unit work input.
The coefficient of performance (CP) for a heat pump is the ratio of the energy transferred for heating to the input electric energy used in the process.
Therefore, the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is expressed as

This efficiency is rated as the COP or the coefficient of performance.
The COP of heat pumps seems to compare very favorably with high-efficiency gas-burning furnaces (90-99% efficient), and electric heating (100%), but the full costs of the energy consumed must be considered, and energy from gas has traditionally been much less expensive than that from electricity.

 Forum Question: How many watts to cool my equipment?
In air conditioning systems, we talk about coefficient of performance instead of efficiency, because and air conditioner can remove more heat than the electrical power consumption.
Coefficient of performance depends on the inside and outside temperature and the design of the equipment.
For a small domestic unit, the coefficient of performance is about 2 - so an air conditioner will use 500W of electricity to remove 1000W of heat.

 Method for determining optimal coefficient of performance in a transcritical vapor compression system patent invention
The coefficient performance equals the total useful heat transferred by the vapor compression system 20 divided by the work put into the vapor compression system 20 by system components, such as fans.
The high side pressure influences the coefficient of performance, and it is therefore important to regulate the high side pressure to optimize the coefficient of performance of the vapor compression system 20.
In the illustrated example, the coefficient of performance varies between approximately 2.7 and 3.1 and reaches a maximum of approximately 3.1 at a high side pressure of approximately 1,350 psia.
