41Chiller — For other uses, see Chiller (disambiguation). York International water cooled chiller. A chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. This liquid can then be circulated through a… …
42Magnetic refrigeration — Gadolinium alloy heats up inside the magnetic field and loses thermal energy to the environment, so it exits the field cooler than when it entered. Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect. This technique… …
43Storage heater — A storage heater is an electrical appliance which stores heat at a time when base load electricity is available at a low price, usually during the night, and releases it during the day. Heat is usually stored in clay bricks or other ceramic… …
44Renewable energy — Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm, at the entrance to the River Mersey in North West England …
45Deep lake water cooling — uses cold water pumped from the bottom of a lake as a heat sink for climate control systems. Because heat pump efficiency improves as the heat sink gets colder, deep lake water cooling can reduce the electrical demands of large cooling systems… …
46EcoCute — The EcoCute is an energy efficient heat pump that uses both electricity and heat extracted from the air to heat water for domestic use. Instead of the more conventional ammonia or haloalkane gases, EcoCute uses carbon dioxide as a refrigerant.… …
