Summary

After more than a decade of research and development work at SINTEF and NTNU, a patented CO2-based car air-conditioning system is now being adopted by the automotive industry. The Japanese company Denso Corporation has acquired a licence for the use of the CO2-technology in air conditioning and heat pump systems for cars. The new system offers improved energy efficiency, eliminates the emission of greenhouse gas refrigerants, and can be operated in the heat-pump mode for rapid heating in winter.
