Some [heat pump] units use a four-way valve to reverse the flow of refrigerant. It is operated by the movement of one valve stem which closes and opens several parts in one valve body, either by moving the stem manually or electrically. The complete system is easily reversed with one of these valves. This type valve is popular in small tonnage units such as window units and other air-to-air units.  3, record 1, English, - four%2Dway%20valve

Ces pompes [à chaleur réversibles] comportent, sur le refoulement et sur l'aspiration du compresseur, une vanne à 4 voies qui permet alors d'utiliser le compresseur: - soit aspirant sur l'évaporateur, et la PAC peut alors climatiser et refroidir en été les locaux à traiter (...) - soit aspirant sur le condenseur, celui-ci se transformant alors en évaporateur (...) et on obtient ainsi le chauffage d'hiver des locaux traités par la pompe à chaleur.  1, record 1, French, - vanne%20%C3%A0%204%20voies

Most commercially available heat pumps are air-to-air systems operating directly between air inside and outside. For outside temperatures below 0°C, a back-up system is usually needed... Other heat pump configurations include water-to-air which uses a river or lake as the source of heat and ground-to-air which uses the earth below the frost line as the source of heat.  2, record 3, English, - ground%2Dto%2Dair%20heat%20pump
