Frost can wreak havoc on a heat pump system and eliminating this risk is a key step in their widespread adoption here in Canada. (Joseph Cress/Iowa City Press-Citizen via AP)

New research may point the way towards frost-free heat pumps

Heat pumps are essential for the large-scale adoption of more carbon friendly heating systems and recent research suggests a way forward for reducing one of the technology’s biggest hurdles — frost.

Machines can’t always take the heat − two engineers explain the physics behind how heat waves threaten everything from cars to computers

People aren’t the only ones harmed by heat waves. The hotter it gets, the harder it is for machines to keep their cool.
Just generating heat is not enough. We must also capture, store, and utilize waste heat year-round and especially in the winter months. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Why we need to reuse waste energy to achieve net-zero heating systems

As the drive towards electrification advances, one fact seems clear: it is far easier to reuse waste heat for our homes and businesses than it is to generate it anew.
