Why cant we do this ?

If the compressor is doing most of the work why the fuck do you want to re-cool the refrigerant ?

You're not cooling the working fluid.
If this is a heat pump, the idea is to heat water inside the house. Right?
The fluid circulates in a counter-clockwise direction around the diagram.

The working fluid, after heating the water and expanding through the conical thing bottom center, is below air temperature and is absorbing heat from the air. That's why the right-side thingie is marked "evaporator". It's turning cold liquid into warm gas.

If you didn't have the evaporator, there'd be no thermodynamic advantage. The heat added inside the house would be just the pump power. Might as well just put a resistance coil in the left-side tank.

That conical thing MIGHT be just a pressure reducer, but the cone is the usual way you draw a turbine. If that's the case, energy is being recovered to help drive the compressor.

Clear?
