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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Refrigerators are a necessary aspect of modern life, but most of them rely on a cooling mechanism called vapor compression—and the vapors involved tend to be potent greenhouse gases that can ...

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - A team of Texas A&M researchers believes they have discovered a way to make heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems more energy efficient. The ...

The majority of the waste water from small isolated outposts such as Antarctic bases and planned Lunar and Martian bases consists of gray water-- water from clothes- and dish-washing, and crew hygiene ...
