• Sketch a simple system schematic for air-to-water, water-to-water, ground-source and air-to-air machines.
• Explain the difference between monoblock and split construction, and between standard and high-temperature machines.
• Compare a heat pump with a solar water heater, a boiler and an electric geyser on running cost for an Indian site.
