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 ...

Improving energy consumption, performance and reliability of steam compression systems used for heating or cooling are some ...

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 ...

A large percentage of compressor failures in low-temperature vapor-compression refrigeration system applications originate from overheating. Typical compressor capacity rating data is based on an ...

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 ...

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

Automobiles, appliances, power plants, factories and electrical utilities all waste one thing: heat. More specifically, they produce heat as a by-product of their normal operations, but that heat is ...

Desiccant dehumidification technology provides a method of drying air before it enters a conditioned space. When combined with conventional cooling systems, desiccant dehumidification systems are a ...
