Techniques for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat destination, and systems for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat destination are provided. More particularly, techniques and systems for transferring heat by utilizing one or more electrocaloric heat pumps are provided. An example heat pump may include an electrocaloric element for receiving heat from a heat source, and a chamber containing a phase change material, an evaporator and a condenser. Upon altering the voltage applied to the electrocaloric element, the phase change material may transform from a liquid state to a vapor state to transfer heat away from the heat source.
