Type of article: Article

Summary

This article points out that the use of R410A can aid heat pump market penetration by raising heat pump performance and reducing the size of this equipment. The authors argue that to make full use of R410A, the difficulties of the relatively low critical point must be overcome, and illustrate the use of a novel compressor/expander unit designed to achieve this.
