Moreover, RACHP also have an important environmental impact due to the working fluids that deplete the stratospheric ozone layer, which are being phased out according to the Montreal Protocol (1989). Last, but not least, high global working potential (GWP), working fluids (directly), and energy consumption (indirectly) are responsible for a non-negligible quota of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere, thus impacting climate change.Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps History of engineering and technologybicsscair conditioningAtomic AircascadechillerCO2CO2 resetcommercial refrigerationcommercial/retail refrigerationconsumer habitsdamper controldemand response (DR)demand side management (DSM)demand-based controldistrict coolingdomestic refrigeratorejectorenergy analysisenergy consumptionenergy efficiencyenergy savingenergy storageflexibilitygood practicesground source heat pumpground source heat pumpsheat pumpheat recoveryhorizontal heat exchangerhuman well-beingHVACIAQindustrial refrigerationliquid to compressed natural gasLNGlow GWP refrigerantsparallel compressionpressure based controlR32R410AR454BR744R744 transcritical boosterstatic pressure resetsubcritical boostersurveysthermal energy storagetranscritical vapor-compression systemtropical climatetwo-phase ejectorHistory of engineering and technologyPolonara Fabioedt760122Polonara FabioothBOOK9910557793903321Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps3023934UNINA
