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 ...

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 ...

A Slovenian research group has proposed using a heat pump booster instead of vapor compression technologies in low-temperature district-heating substations and has found that this combination may ...

If you need to cool something, the gold standard is using a gas compressor arrangement. Of course, there are definite downsides to that, like weight, power consumption, and vibrations. There are solid ...

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 Norway are testing an entirely new kind of heat pump. While heat pumps used today typically last 10 to 20 years, the new one will last practically indefinitely, the scientists believe.

Clothes dryers that use thermoelectric heat pump technology being developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and industry partner Sheetak could use 40 percent less energy, potentially saving consumers ...

Fuel consumption rises, sometimes dramatically, when the air conditioning goes on. But all gas-sipping hybrids have A/C. It’s a conundrum as big as using corn to produce ethanol, which makes steaks ...

A breakthrough improvement in ultra-efficient thermoelectric materials, which can convert heat into electricity and vice versa, has great potential for applications ranging from low-maintenance, solid ...

The thermoelectric coolers market size was calculated at ~$567 million in 2020 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2027. Request To Download Free Sample ...

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 ...
