Qurie GmbH has developed a heat pump that replaces traditional vapor-compression cycles with solid-state materials, ...
A team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory developed a magnetocaloric heat pump that matches current vapor-compression heat pumps for weight, cost, and ...
Heat pumps and other building thermal systems can cut energy use in buildings, but real-world efficiency often falls short due to part-load operation, ...
An international research team has investigated how thermoelectric subcooling may be integrated into propane heat pumps to reduce power consumption in the vapor compression system. Their work showed ...
Vapor compression cycles are predominantly used in air-conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration equipment. A good understanding of transient behaviors of vapor compression systems is critical to ...
