Evari’s quest for scientific breakthrough: Rocket science as a solution for heat pump issues
Today, large swaths of the globe haven’t adopted air-source heat pumps because they don’t work as well when the mercury drops.
What’s more, the refrigerants most heat pumps use are either potent greenhouse gases or can break down into forever chemicals, researchers have found.
Heat pumps are used not just to heat and cool homes and vehicles, but also to generate heat for industrial processes, dehumidify buildings, keep food cold in grocery stores, and more.
The Biden administration announced in February that it was devoting $63 million from the Defense Production Act to boost heat pump manufacturing specifically.
Now it just has to get its super-fast compressors into production in time to catch the wave of heat pump adoption.
