Innovative components for advance air conditioning and heat pump systems
A paper from the winner of the J&E Hall Gold Medal
Continuing efficiency improvements in air conditioning and refrigeration systems will require continued improvements in component technologies. While component improvements are necessary, they are not sufficient. This paper explores the relationships between component and system efficiencies, and the ways in which demand for improved system performance is driving innovation in the component industries. The emerging trend towards integrated systems is addressed explicitly.
