Sidearm water heaters were developed decades ago so that boilers could provide both space heating and domestic hot water. Generically, they are water-to-water heat exchangers that transfer heat from ...

With a little guidance on ground-source heat pump design temperatures and a few rules of thumb for ground loop flow rates, most engineers are pretty comfortable designing the building side of a ground ...

Given this design freedom, Qian set out to discover a design for the hot and cold fluid channels inside a heat exchanger that would maximize heat transfer. He harnessed his expertise in topology ...

Imagine you just poured yourself a glass of tap water to drink. If left unfinished, how long do you let the water sit before you pour it down the drain, and pour yourself a new glass? What is the ...

South Korea's Samsung has launched new residential air-to-water heat pumps for heating and domestic hot water (DHW) in multi-unit homes, apartments, new-builds and retrofits. “Following availability ...
