The electron transport through an energy transmission spectrum between two reservoirs with different temperatures and chemical potentials is studied. The heat flow carried by the electrons is obtained. Taking into account the radiative heat leaks between the two electron reservoirs, the performance parameters of the heat pump are derived by numerical calculation. The performance characteristic curves of the heat pump are plotted. The influence of the heat leaks, the position of resonance energy level and the width of the level on the operation performance of the heat pump is analyzed. When the width of resonance energy level is infinitely small, the coefficient of performance may reach the value of Carnot heat pump.
