Length of lines show amount of heat , pressure change.<br />

Evaporator heat extracted = h f – h e<br />

Compressor heat added = h a – h g<br />

Condenser heat becoming available = h a – h d<br />

Obviously (h a – h d ) > (h a – h g ), thus “pumping” heat extracted by the evaporator, using<br />

the compressor. This heat is becoming available to heat up the water.
