Capacitive charge-pump circuits are used in many applications. And though these circuits appear deceptively simple, engineers working on them need a thorough understanding of how they function. By ...

Boiler feed pumps (BFPs) play a major role in the capacity and heat rate of a power-generating unit. As such, they merit routine performance testing to assess their condition and trend deficiencies to ...

Linear-motor driven plunger pumps are most efficient at transforming mechanical energy to hydraulic work in low-producing and highly deviated wells. Linear-motor driven plunger pumps (LMDPP) are most ...

Electric HVAC systems can help you keep your home comfortable using a fraction of the energy. We spoke to experts to find out just how efficient they are. Mike De Socio is a CNET contributor who ...

In the Fraunhofer lighthouse project ElKaWe, researchers are working on the development of electrocaloric heat pumps as an alternative to the currently prevailing compressor technology. These new ...

Heat pumps electrify your heating and cooling to be more efficient. New technology could solve one of their lingering problems. Jon covers artificial intelligence. He previously led CNET's home energy ...
