Vapor compression technologies heavily reply on high-efficient compressors to meet the heating and cooling load requirements. Advances in manufacturing techniques and computational resources along with refrigerant and energy efficiency requirements are driving the hunt for the next generation compressors. This seminar will focus on design optimizations and challenges of both positive displacement and turbo-compressors for heat pumping applications with particular emphasis on low-GWP refrigerant solutions and alternative integrated solutions.
