A group of researchers led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a heat-driven thermoacoustic refrigerator/heat pump (HDTAR/HDTAHP) for high heating-temperature operation. They ...

People not in the refrigeration business often think that refrigeration equipment produces cold air; in fact, the equipment is actually removing heat from air and leaving what’s left — the cold. When ...

At first glance, heat and cold do not have much to do with quantum physics. A single atom is neither hot nor cold. Temperature can traditionally only be defined for objects that consist of many ...

Most heat pumps fall into the broad categories of ducted or ductless, but there are also a number of subcategories you should be aware of when choosing a heat pump for your home. Sam Becker ...

The use of environmentally damaging gases in air conditioners and refrigerators could become redundant if a new kind of heat pump lives up to its promise. A prototype, described in a study published ...

Academics from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in South Africa have designed a PV-powered integrated heat pump and cooling system to heat up food and refrigerate drinks. The system uses a ...
