Daimler engineers discovered HFO-1234yf could spark a fire under ... protection by choosing CO2 as the future refrigerant for its air conditioning systems. Just a few days ago - at the Geneva ...

That said, the UCS suggested HFO-1234yf (or R-1234yf ... We shouldn't ignore the effect of AC refrigerant on global warming emissions, but reducing the amount gasoline we burn will have the ...

Air conditioning controls temperature by moving heat around. A key component is the exchanger, which transfers heat between mediums. This usually involves refrigerant pipelines and fins that ...

The R-454B refrigerant blend, composed of R-32 and R-1234yf, has a GWP of 466 — more than 75% lower than the widely used R-410A. This significant reduction in GWP, a key environmental metric, aligns ...

Refrigeration compressors and air conditioning compressors provide air conditioning, heat pumping, and refrigeration for large-scale facilities and equipment. They use compression to raise the ...

However, in the case of the leaking refrigerant, there's a serious health risk involved since the chemical is highly toxic.

A group of scientists led by the Zhejiang University in China has developed a novel zeotropic refrigerant that can reportedly improve the performance of air-source heat pumps (ASHPs), while also ...

The compressor is the power unit of the air-conditioning system that puts the refrigerant under high pressure before it pumps it into the condenser, where it changes from a gas to a liquid.

In essence, the AC compressor performs for the system the same function that your heart does in your body—it provides the circulation of a precious fluid, the refrigerant, through the air conditioning ...

He is in charge of developing and carrying out testing procedures for a wide variety of home appliances and smart devices including robot vacuums, smoke/CO detectors and air conditioning units.

As global temperatures rise, the demand for air conditioning is spreading to regions unaccustomed to using it, further increasing refrigerant emissions. The reliance on cooling systems is expected ...
