When troubleshooting a refrigeration system, it is important to understand how the refrigeration cycle accomplishes the goal of removing heat from a room and rejecting the heat absorbed by the ...

The basic refrigeration cycle applies to all air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This is the method in which refrigerant is contained and circulated through the system in order to absorb ...

This paper describes the process and analysis used to select a refrigerant and thermodynamic cycle as the basis of a vapor compression heat pump requiring a high temperature lift. Use of a vapor ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a novel potential means of alternative refrigeration: ionocaloric cooling. The method involves electrically charged atoms or ...
