ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Tecumseh Products Co. announced that it worked closely with Hussmann Corp. to launch the first United States-based grocery store using propane (R-290) refrigerant. The newly opened ...

Hanon Systems, a global automotive thermal energy management solutions company under Hankook & Company Group, said Sunday it ...

As the industry takes a look at refrigerants beyond HFCs, a lot of attention has been focused on CO2 (carbon dioxide). Another refrigerant that has been looked at over the years is R-290 - propane.

Using propane as a refrigerant in air conditioners could avoid around 0.1°C of global warming by the end of the century. It would be a significant reduction considering that, to achieve the Paris ...

Discover the key engineering challenges of using natural refrigerants like R-290 and CO₂ in high-precision temperature ...

Propane heat pumps for indoor use in single-family homes are now one step closer to commercialization. Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE has successfully developed a model of a heat pump refrigeration circuit ...

Heat pumps use environmental energy to provide us with heat. However, they generally require synthetic refrigerants, which contain environmentally harmful fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases).

Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute ISE and a consortium of heat pump manufacturers have achieved a new efficiency record in their development of a low-refrigerant propane refrigeration ...

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 ...

Not just for barbecues, some companies are switching over completely. The reviews of the new report from the UK's Committee on Climate Change have been mixed; I complained about its reliance on ...

In the transcritical refrigeration cycle, the refregierant travels through the the compressor but does not condense into a liquid, it just gets colder. Therefore, heat exchangers using copper tubing ...
