We'll discuss the refrigeration cycle using the cycle diagram below. Component #1 is the compressor. It takes refrigerant vapor in from the low pressure side of the circuit, and discharges it at a ...

If you are like most of us in the HVAC industry, you are a hands-on person - you don‘t want to mess with a lot of theory, but just get in and get the job done. But a refrigeration system is different ...

Cascade refrigeration systems represent a critical advancement in thermal management, particularly in applications requiring ultra‐low temperatures. These systems employ multiple refrigeration cycles ...

A method unveiled in 2023, developed by researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of ...

Sealing techniques figure heavily into what technology makes sense in different portions of the refrigeration cycle. Supermarket refrigeration systems, rooftop chillers, walk-in fast-food-restaurant ...

As the ambient temperature increases, a gas turbine’s output decreases. Since spot market prices for power invariably increase in the summer, the reduced gas turbine output at high temperatures can ...

Researchers have discovered a new breakthrough process that could one day replace conventional refrigeration, which currently ...

Based on a presentation to the GPA Europe Annual Conference, Prague, Sept. 21-23, 2011. Operational scenarios for two uses of a new refrigeration process for recovering NGLs from natural gas have ...
