Project

Promoting the popularization of heat pump performance evaluation He was also involved in the development of EcoCute, and conducted rigorous performance verification experiments on prototypes, which contributed greatly to practical application. Thereafter, he researched and developed a small industrial hot air generator using CO2 gas and a heat pump (HP) for heating in cold regions. Currently, he is providing basic research data for the country and proposing efficient usage of HP through the HP performance evaluation.
