Currently heat pump manufacturers are mainly focusing on cost reductions and sustainable refrigerants. In the project “LC150” (Low Charge 150 g), the Fraun-hofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE ...

Engineering considerations, operational benefits and long-term prospects for sustainable cooling in data center environments.

Refrigerant circuit restrictions can be common things like a plugged filter drier or a restricted metering device. They can also be more difficult to diagnose and exotic issues like a kinked liquid ...

While it might be fair to say that there is no such thing as a typical supermarket refrigeration system, there are commonalities between all systems that employ multiplex compressor racks. It is ...

Heat pumps can now achieve sufficiently high flow temperatures to operate most heating systems, even in older buildings. They are not yet highly efficient, but new refrigerants are expected to provide ...

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230296299A1) describes a refrigeration cycle apparatus that includes a unique filter member designed to capture acid contained in the refrigerant. The ...

Propane heat pumps for indoor use in single-family homes are now one step closer to commercialization. Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE has successfully developed a model of a heat pump refrigeration circuit ...

Heat pumps are a key technology in the heat transition, but many of the devices still use environmentally harmful refrigerants. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has now developed ...

One of the great inventions of our time — in terms of its social impact and influence on the health care and food preservation industries — refrigeration equipment is everywhere, from hotels, ...

Article 440 applies to electrically driven air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment. The rules in this Article add to, or amend, the rules in Art. 430 and other Articles in the NEC [440.3(A)]. A ...

Niles, Ill.-based Thermal Care Inc. introduced a new industrial product to its Accuchiller line this year and had the entire brand of standard water‐cooled portable, packaged and central chillers ...
