Refrigerant
91Magnetic refrigeration — Gadolinium alloy heats up inside the magnetic field and loses thermal energy to the environment, so it exits the field cooler than when it entered. Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect. This technique… …
92Chiller — For other uses, see Chiller (disambiguation). York International water cooled chiller. A chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. This liquid can then be circulated through a… …
93Air conditioner — For general aspects of air conditioning, see Air conditioning. A typical home air conditioning unit. An air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to dehumidify and extract heat from an area. The… …
94EcoCute — The EcoCute is an energy efficient heat pump that uses both electricity and heat extracted from the air to heat water for domestic use. Instead of the more conventional ammonia or haloalkane gases, EcoCute uses carbon dioxide as a refrigerant.… …
95Isobutane — Isobutane …
96Refrigerator — Fridge and Freezer redirect here. For other uses, see Fridge (disambiguation) and Freezer (disambiguation). For other uses, see Refrigerator (disambiguation). See also: Refrigeration A side by side refrigerator …
97Air source heat pumps — An air source heat pump is a type of heat pump which use the outside air as a heat source or heat sink to heat or cool an interior space. Air source heat pumps are more efficient than oil, gas, and electric resistance heating in mild climates… …
98Heat pump and refrigeration cycle — Thermodynamic heat pump and refrigeration cycles are the models for heat pumps and refrigerators. The difference between a heat pump and a normal air conditioner is that a heat pump can be used to heat a home as well as cool it. Even though the… …
99Crankcase heater — A crankcase heater is an electrical component in a compressor in an air conditioning system, heat pump system, or a chiller system. The crankcase heater is normally ON all the time even when the unit is not running, though temperature sensors and …
100The Cool War — Not to be confused with The Cool War , a novel by Frederik Pohl. The Cool War refers to the debate about the next generation refrigerant in car air conditioning worldwide, with an ongoing dispute between the Alliance for CO2 Solutions supporting… …
