a free circuit simulation program. Using voltage to model temperature and current to model heat flow, he’s set up a model for his home to compare the behavior of a heat pump and a propane furnace.

Armed with an infrared emitter, the device is capable of sending commands to the heat pump to more accurately control the climate of the room than the built-in controls are able to do. It’s also ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer ...

Researchers from the University of Rovira i Virgili in Spain have evaluated different control strategies for heat pump operation in a solar-assisted district heating system (SDHS) for space ...

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 ...

"Heating costs can be quite reasonable with a heat pump and it's a way to reduce those heating costs," he said. And there's more to the units than just the heat. They also provide air conditioning ...

Whether a heat pump or an air conditioner (AC) is better for your home will depend on your climate control needs. A heat pump is a versatile option if you live in an area that experiences four ...

it provides for rebates up to $8,000 for installing a new heat pump system. The second: The recent vote by the California Air ...

The Stranger Election Control board is composed of staff writers and editors who volunteer to grill, research, fight over, and ultimately endorse candidates running for office in local ...

As demand for next-generation semiconductor chips grows, a team of researchers has succeeded in laser-drilling the world's tiniest circuit board holes, measuring a near-inconceivable 3 micrometers ...

Thailand's printed circuit board (PCB) industry continues to show signs of growth, particularly in the electric vehicle sector, according to the Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO).
