1. So a COP of 5?

2. Where’s the catch? Local companies have been offering this solution for over 10 years with many having this kind of systems installed to their ponds. What’s “new” with it?

3. compressed glycol eh? somebody doesn’t understand how heat pumps work. but yeah, water is a better medium to dump waste heat/cold into than air.

4. No it doesn’t. Sensational headline doesn’t understand basic physics.

5. Why don’t companies try to make a waste water treatment plant heat pump that raises the heat in municipal water that way the consumers have a lot warmer water which in turn reduces the winter nat gas expense of house hold hot water bills.
