You want pics of a phase change heat pump? How about seeing the real thing in person. Just walk over to your refrigerator/freezer, or house/car air conditioner.

Any current method of active cooling requires a substantial amount of energy; whether that is with Peltier junctions, or condensor/compressors. The advantage of Peltier junctions is that they have no moving parts to wear. Another interesting thing about them is that you can reverse which side is cold and hot simply by reversing the polarity of the input power. Many portable camping refrigerators use these devices.

The way I was understanding this technology was that it just turned electric heat/ energy into cold. My fridge and stuff as I understand it have freon or the greener version now which does it. (im no hvac but I was debating going to school for it as my marketing degree has proven worthless). I have fingers I can look around I dont want to be a dense annoyance and I don't expect you all to educate me for free lol but maybe a hint or 2 where to look or just keep going on the OPs topic and ignore me and ill learn from there.
