  "textContent": "The invention relates to a heat pump, in particular for heating a vehicle interior, as well as a method for operating a heat pump with a compressor (V), a condenser (KON), a throttle valve (DV) and an evaporator (VER) arranged in a heat pump circuit of a working medium. According to the invention, gaseous working medium is compressed in the compressor (V) in the heat pump circuit. The compressor outlet is connected to the inlet of the condenser (KON), in which the working medium condenses with heat release, wherein the heat is supplied as useful heat directly or indirectly to a consumer, in particular a passenger interior. Furthermore, a jet pump is arranged downstream of the condenser (KON), to which on the one hand the liquid working medium coming from the condenser (KON) is supplied as driving medium and on the other hand the gaseous working medium flowing out of the evaporator (VER) is supplied as suction medium, such that the driving medium and suction medium are compressed as a two-phase mixture in the jet pump. The jet pump outlet is connected to the inlet of a separator (SEP), to which the two-phase mixture is supplied and in which the gaseous working medium is separated from the liquid working medium. The gas outlet of the separator (SEP) is connected to the compressor inlet and the liquid outlet of the separator (SEP) is connected to the inlet of the throttle valve (DV), wherein the liquid working medium is throttled in the throttle valve (DV) and the outlet of the throttle valve is connected to the inlet of the evaporator (VER), in which phase transformation to gaseous working medium takes place under heat supply, which is supplied as suction medium to the suction medium inlet (6) of the jet pump.",
