Heat pumps compress cold ambient air and, in so doing, heat it to room temperature without violation of conservation principles. To calculate the heat pump’s coefficient of performance, use the equation \(COP_{hp} = \dfrac{Q_h}{W}\). A refrigerator is a heat pump; it takes warm ambient air and expands it to chill it.

In this case, the engine is known as a refrigerator or a heat pump, depending on what is the focus: the heat removed from the cold reservoir or the heat dumped to the hot reservoir. Either a refrigerator or a heat pump is an engine running in reverse.
