2. Thermal generator cycles
Whether it's a refrigeration machine or a heat pump, the basic thermodynamic cycles are absolutely identical. As mentioned above, the only distinction between these two types of machine lies in the use of heat exchange.
Two basic types of mechanothermal conversion cycles are at the heart of thermal generator operation: gas cycles and steam cycles.
