Aug. 22, 2022 Summer is in full swing, and people are turning up their air conditioners to beat the heat. But the hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants in these and other cooling devices are potent greenhouse gases and ...
Aug. 16, 2022 Current severe heatwaves that will likely increase in severity and frequency in the future are driving a rise in the use of air conditioners, threatening the environment with their high energy ...
Jan. 4, 2023 Researchers have developed a new kind of heating and cooling method that they have named the ionocaloric refrigeration cycle. They hope the technique will someday help phase out refrigerants that ...
May 24, 2021 Researchers explore a novel organic Rankine system for converting waste heat into ...
Mar. 15, 2022 Researchers have developed an optimizer tool to design, evaluate, and maximize the performance of different types of solar-powered adsorption under various operating scenarios. The tool was created ...
Nov. 11, 2020 Researchers say that cascaded organic Rankine cycle systems could improve the way in which environmentally-friendly power is generated from waste ...
Mar. 9, 2022 A new research article features one major challenge overcome through a remarkably simple idea, opening the door to expanded use of phase-change materials (PCMs) for energy-efficient heating and ...
Oct. 6, 2020 A new study shows that coordinated international action on energy-efficient, climate-friendly cooling could avoid as much as 600 billion tons CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions in this ...
Sep. 23, 2021 A new study shows that the intensification of global hydrological cycle drives more ocean heat uptake into the deep ocean and moderates the pace of global ...
June 15, 2023 Areas of the ocean that are rich in marine life are having a bigger impact on our ecosystems and the climate than previously thought, new research ...
