Capacitors May Replace HFCs in future Heat Pump Systems
In a paper released in the recent issue of Science journal, researchers describe progress on a form of heat pump that is built around a capacitor that changes temperature as it's charged and discharged. Because the energy spent while charging it can be used on discharge, the system has the potential to be highly efficient.
