Description

Background Technology

[0002] Vapor compression air conditioners and heat pumps are common equipment in modern production and daily life, consuming huge amounts of energy. Water-cooled air conditioners have a higher coefficient of performance (COP) than air-cooled air conditioners due to their higher heat exchange efficiency.
