Driven by the pressing need for environmental responsibility and sustainability, cooling technologies are rapidly evolving.

An international research team has conducted a computational analysis on propane (R290) vapor compression heat pumps integrating a thermoelectric subcooler (TESC) to reduce the power consumption of ...

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 ...

Refrigeration is the process in which heat is transferred from one place to another under controlled conditions. There are certain different ways of transferring the heat. It is usually done by ...

Heat pumps are devices that work like a refrigerator in reverse, moving heat from the air or ground outside a building to its inside, through the circulation of a refrigerant. In the case of an air ...

Liquid desiccants may be among the most valuable HVAC technologies of this young millennium. Some leading researchers and mechanical engineers — and a growing number of large facility owners with ...
