My goal in this tech tip is to help those who struggle to understand heat pumps get their heads around them as quickly as possible and understand some of the things a tech needs to know about them. The basic idea of a heat pump is to use the compression refrigeration cycle to move heat […]

We have discussed DTD (design temperature difference) quite a bit for air conditioning applications, but what about refrigeration? Let's start by defining our terms again. Suction Saturation Temperature The saturation temperature is the temperature at which the refrigerant will be at a given pressure if it is currently changing state. This change of state would […]

Pioneers of refrigeration The modern world is impossible to imagine without refrigeration. The Internet, food transportation, medical imaging, and vaccine research all rely on refrigeration to function. Even the sprawl of cities across the American south in the 1950s was inconceivable without refrigeration and air conditioning. So, if you like vacationing in Vegas or taking […]
