This being the case, a continuous rise in the cost of energy demands more effective ways to conserve energy. Heat pump (HP) systems provide the one of the best possible solutions to this problem as they offer an economical and energy-efficient system. In this review, HP systems are overviewed as energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions, focusing on their characteristic properties but also on enhancements, novel techniques and the use of heat exchangers (HXs), and microchannel heat exchangers (MCHEs) in these systems, as well as their development in recent years and their limitations. The main factors contributing to variations in the performance of HP systems are temperature and humidity in the ambient atmosphere. The present study is expected to support numerical and experimental performance analysis, and design miniaturisation via MCHEs. Unique designs or manufacturing techniques in MCHEs; various configurations in HP systems, depending on their load and environmental conditions; various nanofluids; and a comparison of nanofluids with different base metals are presented and discussed. Comparisons between various MCHEs and their respective limitations provide evidence-based guidelines for technology selection and designs for optimised operation at given environmental and load conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/machines13040333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,18]],"date-time":"2025-04-18T06:23:56Z","timestamp":1744957436000},"page":"333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Review of Recent Advancements in Heat Pump Systems and Developments in Microchannel Heat Exchangers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0216-627X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roopesh Chowdary","family":"Sureddi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield AL10 9AB, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0451-7045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences, Brunel University of London, Uxbridge UB8 3PH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield AL10 9AB, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3487-5641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Niccolo","family":"Giannetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo 182-8585, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiyoshi","family":"Saito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mechanics and Aerospace, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 1698-555, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Rees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences, Brunel University of London, Uxbridge UB8 3PH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3611","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apenergy.2010.06.014","article-title":"Advances in heat pump systems: A review","volume":"87","author":"Chua","year":"2010","journal-title":"Appl.
