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 ...

Troubleshooting and servicing refrigeration and air conditioning systems can be a challenging process for both the entry level and experienced HVACR technician. Regardless of your experience, size of ...

New solid-state air conditioners could change the way homes, apartments and office buildings are cooled, eliminating the need for bulky compressor-type air conditioners and help meet the rising demand ...

Air conditioning and refrigeration consume about 20% of global electricity, relying on century-old vapor-compression ...

The proposed system uses waste heat by thermally coupling a water lithium bromide absorption heat transformer with a water vapor compression heat pump. It reportedly achieved a temperature elevation ...

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 ...

As heat waves blaze across the world, the demand for air conditioners has soared. However, air conditioners are notoriously unsustainable and increase emissions, prompting climate change to worsen and ...

A researcher from Saudi Arabia's University of Ha'il has conducted an exergy and energy analysis of a PV-driven single-effect absorption cooling system (SEAC) that uses water-lithium bromide (H₂O–LiBr ...
