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 ...

HVAC Short-Cycling: 10 Causes and How to Prevent It Short-cycling is when an HVAC system terminates its heating or cooling cycle prematurely. In many instances, it will attempt to start the cycle ...

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 ...

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 have ...

At a recent meeting of the International Ground Source Heat Pump Association (IGSPHA), Enertech business development manager Rob Derksen shared tips for how HVAC contractors can become better at ...

Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient way of controlling indoor temperature. By moving heat between locations, they avoid the inefficiencies of generating heat in the first place. But that doesn’t ...
