A new heat pump laboratory: The Reengineer Monitor #45
Wine-saving bacteria, insulation nightmares - and more!
Heating and cooling
A new lab is putting heat pumps through their paces at the Austrian Institute of Technology. The 3 million euro facility can test heat pumps with a capacity of up to 100 kilowatts. Besides evaluating heat pump performance, the lab also measures sound produced by these devices.
Buildings and infrastructure
Some towns in Great Britain may eventually have to be abandoned due to the risk of future flooding, a Guardian investigation has found.
