Turning
the crank on the Heat Pump exhibit pumps heat from one
copper coil to another. Visitors crank a small refrigerator
compressor and compare the temperature of the two coils,
one hooked to the high pressure output of the compressor,
the other to the low pressure input. As more work is
done, the high pressure coil becomes warm and the low
pressure coil becomes cold. Leakage from the high pressure
side to the low pressure side can be regulated with
a valve.
