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 ...

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 ...

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed, for the first time in the country, a refrigeration technology that uses air as a refrigerant instead of Freon gas, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs ...

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 ...

Heat pumps are devices that work like a refrigerator in reverse, moving heat from the air or ground outside a building to its inside, through the circulation of a refrigerant. In the case of an air ...

Mumbai: Godrej Appliances is developing air conditioners that will consume up to 80% less power than those in the market today by combining the conventional vapour compression system, evaporative ...
