Peanuts and Oxalates. Peanuts are among a small number of foods that contain measurable amounts of oxalates, naturally-occurring substances found in plants, animals, and human beings. When oxalates become too concentrated in body fluids, they can crystallize and cause health problems.
Heat Pump Power Interruptions. In cold weather, the heat pump extracts heat from the cold air outside and releases it inside the house. The process is reversed for cooling during warm weather. Â©2006 Publications International, Ltd.
What a heat pump does is use a small amount of energy to switch that process into reverse, pulling heat out of a relatively low-temperature area, and pumping it into a higher temperature area. So heat is transferred from a heat source, like the ground or air, into a heat sink, like your home.
