Heat pumps operate by moving heat from lower temperature areas to higher temperature areas. They typically take advantage of an electrically driven compressor and a closed vapor compression cycle.

Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a hybrid-energy heat pump that seamlessly combines absorption and compression cycles using crystallization-free ionic liquids, improving efficiency and ...

The heat pump has become a common fixture in many parts of modern life. We now have reverse-cycle air conditioning, heat pump hot water systems, and even heat pump dryers. These home appliances ...

Gas engine-driven heat pump systems integrate a combustion engine with conventional vapor compression technology to provide heating and cooling while utilising waste heat recovery. These systems offer ...

Aetherlux Pro Operates to -57°F Without Defrost Cycles or Backup Heat, Addressing Grid Stress and Soaring Energy Costs ...

UK-based researchers have developed a novel method to estimate the amount of defrost cycles a heat pump will experience in the winter and how much energy it would require to implement the cycles. The ...

Heat pumps are emerging as an efficient solution for space heating and air conditioning, especially when used in variable refrigerant flow systems. They can match the most efficient air conditioning ...

Your backup heat is supposed to be the quiet safety net in your home’s comfort system, not the star of the show. Yet in many houses, the setup looks perfectly normal until a cold snap hits, the ...
