Methods, systems, and/or devices are provided for producing a heat pump. In some embodiments, the heat pump may be driven by low temperature heat. The methods, systems, and devices may include tools and techniques for: precipitating a first material, where heat may be released from the precipitated first material; cooling the precipitated first material; dissolving the cooled precipitated first material into a second material to create a dissolved mixture, where heat may be absorbed into the mixture; and/or separating the first material and the second material from the dissolved mixture.

1. A method of producing a heat pump comprising: precipitating a first material, wherein a first heat is released from the precipitated first material;cooling the precipitated first material;dissolving the cooled precipitated first material into a second material to create a dissolved mixture, wherein a second heat is absorbed into the dissolved mixture; andseparating the first material and the second material from the dissolved mixture. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: utilizing at least a portion of the dissolved mixture to perform the cooling of the precipitated first material. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first material comprises a refrigerant and the second material comprises a solvent. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the solvent comprises at least water, alcohol, ammonia, DMSO, acetone, glycol, polyethylene glycol, aqueous polymer, or polar solvent. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the solvent comprises water combined with at least another solvent. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein the refrigerant comprises a hydrate forming salt. 7. The method of claim 3, wherein the refrigerant comprises at least Na2CO3, Na2S2CO3, NA2Cr04, or KNO3. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first material is in thermal contact with an ambient environment when precipitating. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first material is in thermal contact with a refrigerated environment when at least cooling or dissolving. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the precipitating utilizes at least a liquid thermocline, a priller, or a heat exchanger. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the cooling utilizes at least a heat exchanger. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the second heat is absorbed into the dissolved mixture through removing the second heat from a refrigerated environment. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the separating utilizes at least a membrane distillation, an ion exchange, an activated carbon absorption, a flash separation, a distillation, a multi-effect distillation, a vapor compression distillation, an evaporation, an air-gap membrane extraction, or a liquid-liquid extraction. 14. A system for producing a heat pump comprising: a precipitator configured to: precipitate a first material, wherein a first heat is released from the precipitated first material; cooling the precipitated first material; anddissolve the cooled precipitated first material into a second material to create a dissolved mixture, wherein a second heat is absorbed into the dissolved mixture; anda separator configured to separate the first material and the second material from the dissolved mixture. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the first material comprises a refrigerant and the second material comprises a solvent. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein: the precipitator comprises a heater exchanger configured to cool the precipitated first material; andthe separator comprises a distiller configured to separate the first material and the second material from the dissolved mixture. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the precipitator further comprises a liquid thermocline configured to precipitate the first material, wherein the first heat is released from the precipitated first material. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the precipitator further comprises a priller configured to precipitate the first material, wherein the first heat is released from the precipitated first material. 19. The system of claim 16, wherein the distiller comprises at least a direct contact membrane distiller, an ion exchanger, an activated carbon absorber, a flash separator, a multi-effect distiller, a vapor compression distiller, an evaporator, an air-gap membrane contractor, or a liquid-liquid extractor. 20. The system of claim 15, wherein the precipitator comprises one or more tanks, wherein at least one of the tanks includes one or more faceted surface areas.
