  2. Absorption refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_refrigerator

    At the 2007 TED Conference, Adam Grosser presented his research of a new, very small, "intermittent absorption" vaccine refrigeration unit for use in third world countries. The refrigerator is a small unit placed over a campfire, that can later be used to cool 15 litres (3.3 imp gal; 4.0 US gal) of water to just above freezing for 24 hours in a ...

  3. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    A fan coil unit (FCU), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit (VFCU), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling.

  4. Free cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_cooling

    Free cooling is an economical method of using low external air temperatures to assist in chilling water, which can then be used for industrial processes, or air conditioning systems. The chilled water can either be used immediately or be stored for the short- or long-term.

  5. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    In the process, heat is absorbed from indoors and transferred outdoors, resulting in cooling of the building. In variable climates, the system may include a reversing valve that switches from heating in winter to cooling in summer. By reversing the flow of refrigerant, the heat pump refrigeration cycle is changed from cooling to heating or vice ...

  6. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    is the temperature of the environment; i.e., the temperature suitably far from the surface (SI unit: K), is the coefficient of heat transfer (SI unit: second). Solving the initial-value problem using separation of variables gives

  7. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

    Several compressors can be installed in the system to provide the peak cooling capacity. Each compressor can run or not in order to stage the cooling capacity of the unit. The turn down capacity is either 0/33/66 or 100% for a trio configuration and either 0/50 or 100% for a tandem. [citation needed]

  8. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    An Egyptian qullah, set in drafts to cool interiors. Porous pottery and coarse cloth maximize the area for evaporation. An evaporative cooler (also known as evaporative air conditioner, swamp cooler, swamp box, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.

  9. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    An all-in-one (AIO) cooling unit, installed in a case DIY water cooling setup showing a 12 V pump, CPU waterblock and the typical application of a T-Line Schematic of a regular liquid cooling setup for PCs. Liquid cooling is a highly effective method of removing excess heat, with the most common heat transfer fluid in desktop PCs being ...
