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 Spanish research group has investigated how thermoelectric heat pumps may be used as power-to-heat technology to increase temperatures in thermal energy storage systems. It found the proposed system ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — The National Science Foundation will fund research on a solar heating and cooling prototype that seeks to replace conventional systems. Details of the prototype technology called the ...

Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have worked during 4 years on a climate control system called the Active Building Envelope (ABE) system. The ABE includes solar panels, ...

Researchers in Israel have found the first evidence for natural heat pumps in living creatures. David Bergman and colleagues from Tel Aviv University used infrared imaging to show that wasps can ...

REFRIGERATORS AND air-conditioners are old and clunky technology, and represent a field ripe for disruption. They consume a lot of electricity. And they generally rely on chemicals called ...

The PC computer industry has certainly taught the power electronics industry a thing or two. For example, Active Cool, has developed the AC4G, a thermoelectric The PC computer industry has certainly ...
