This is the same basic heat-transfer principle used by a refrigerator, operating in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"641\" data-end=\"1057\">For commercial and industrial applications, heat pumps can also be designed to provide hot water and integrate with storage tanks, piping systems and building-management systems.
