New radiative cooling technology promises breakthrough for vertical surfaces
A new radiative cooling material designed for vertical surfaces demonstrates cooling 2.5°C below ambient, offering solutions for urban heat.
Out of the ordinary: Electrolux Bio Robot Refrigerator on biopolymer gel
Electrolux has finally unveiled its avant-garde Bio Robot Refrigerator concept within the context of its 2010 Electrolux Design Lab final. Designed by Yuriy Dmitriev, the refrigerator works on the principle of biopolymer, so there is no air that...
Neutrons provide first images of refrigerant flow
Researchers at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have captured undistorted snapshots of refrigerants flowing through small heat exchangers, helping to further elucidate characteristics of heat transfer.
Efficiency of ground source heat pump systems
Ground source heat pumps (GHSP) have been reported to be more efficient than more widespread air source heat pumps despite higher installation costs. A recent article has reviewed parameters impacting the energy...
