Apart from a lower COP at moderate temperatures, the AHP beats the very expensive regular heat pump on all fronts. It is a cheap design and it uses no refrigerants, but plain air, or a nobel gas instead. The AHP performs independently from the temperature difference over the machine, while a regular heat pump stops performing when it becomes too large.
