If defrost isn’t working, something in the chain is broken. This step-by-step approach shows you exactly where to look and what to test.

Heat pumps operate by moving heat from lower temperature areas to higher temperature areas. They typically take advantage of an electrically driven compressor and a closed vapor compression cycle.

Adsorption refrigeration systems and heat pumps are emerging as compelling alternatives to conventional vapour compression technologies, offering enhanced energy efficiency and environmental benefits.

A heat pump doesn't generate heat; it transfers it from one place to another. It's an appliance with a bright future in an ...

With global energy prices soaring to record high levels and no end in sight, home appliance manufacturers struggle to find innovative and effective ways to improve energy efficiency. Among the most ...

Heat pumps are becoming all the rage around a world that has to slash carbon emissions rapidly while cutting energy costs. In buildings, they replace space heating and water heating — and provide ...

UK scientists designed a new heat pump concept that they claim could be particularly beneficial to newly developed areas or potential residential complexes. The system uses ice or ice slurry as the ...

Sales slowed in 2023, but heat pumps are gaining ground on fossil fuels. Heat pumps are still a hot technology, though sales in the US, one of the world’s largest markets, fell in 2023. Even with the ...
